ingredients

  • 1 tablepoons powdered gelatin
  • 2 tablepoons cold water
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 1/2 pint Strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar

Method

  • Step 1

    Sprinkle powdered gelatin over the cold water. Set aside to allow gelatin to set.

  • Step 2

    Place 6 ramekins on a tray or baking pan (one that will fit in your refrigerator).

  • Step 3

    Cut strawberries into ¼" slices. Place 3 slices of strawberries into each ramekin.

  • Step 4

    Place remaining strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar (this will macerate the strawberries and pull out some of the juices, resulting in a sugary syrup to pour over the panna cotta once unmolded).

  • Step 5

    Place cream, granulated sugar and vanilla bean paste in a large saucepan. Bring to a low boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching the cream.

  • Step 6

    Remove from heat as soon as the cream begins to boil.

  • Step 7

    Add gelatin to the cream mixture and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.

  • Step 8

    Pour mixture into a heat-proof measuring cup and distribute evenly between the 6 ramekins pouring over the strawberry slices.

  • Step 9

    Place ramekins in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to set.

  • Step 10

    Dip the panna cotta ramekins, one at a time, into a heatproof bowl half-filled with hot water. Leave for about 5 seconds.

  • Step 11

    Invert the ramekin onto a serving plate. If panna cotta does not release, dip the ramekin into the hot water for an additional 5 seconds

  • Step 12

    Spoon syrup from macerated strawberries over the panna cotta. Place remaining strawberries on serving plates.
