Ingredients
Method
- Place a small/medium saucepan on the stovetop, add the milk, then sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let it sit like that for 5 minutes without the heat on.
- Next, turn the heat to medium and stir the mixture until the gelatin dissolves. Don’t let the milk boil – it should only take about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Now add the heavy cream and sugar to the stovetop mixture and continue cooking while stirring for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved. Then, turn off the heat.
- Take the saucepan off the hot stove top and then stir in the vanilla. Divide the mixture between two serving bowls and chill the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- After the panna cotta has settled, you can try to plop it out onto a plate and garnish but if the serving bowl shape won't allow it, you can just throw your toppings on and serve!
The perfect end to a meal! The creaminess of this panna cotta is something to write home about. 👌
My taste buds are thanking me. simple, yet luxurious. Restaurants are way too expensive recently, who knew I could cook this good?!
If it’s server in an individual little glass, I’m obsessed. Even better, if you can eat it with a tiny little spoon. Tiny utensils make things taste better, it’s science.
Delicious, creamy, and smooth! This recipe was easy to follow, and the results were restaurant-worthy. Panna Cotta is my new go-to dessert! 🍮
Wow, this is the creamiest panna cotta I’ve ever had. Hear me out though! Get some vanilla beans and scrape them bad boys. I knooooowww their expensive but super worth it for this recipe.
