Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 packet (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

How to Make Vanilla Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
4. Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Allow them to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
5. Once the panna cotta is set, top each serving with fresh raspberries and garnish with mint leaves if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid any lumps in your panna cotta.
• For a smoother texture, strain the cream mixture through a fine mesh sieve before pouring it into glasses.
• Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

• Fruit Puree: Blend raspberries with a bit of sugar and drizzle over the panna cotta for a fruity sauce.
• Chocolate Panna Cotta: Add 4 ounces of melted chocolate to the cream mixture for a decadent twist.
• Different Fruits: Substitute raspberries with strawberries, blueberries, or sliced peaches for variety.

What to Serve With It

• A light fruit salad for a refreshing complement.
• Shortbread cookies for a crunchy texture contrast.
• A glass of dessert wine or champagne to elevate the experience.
