Great desserts are sometimes hard to create, but isn’t it fantastic when they aren’t? This panna cotta checks two boxes by being delicious and super simple to make. Top it off with pieces of fruit, canned passionfruit pulp, a berry sauce, or just enjoy the Italian treat as is.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin into the milk and set aside.
  2. Heat up the whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a sauce pan over medium heat. Once it’s steaming but not boiling, add in the gelatin and milk mixture.
  3. Whisk everything together until the gelatin has dissolved and is no longer grainy.
  4. Remove from heat and pour the mixture evenly into 6 ramekin dishes. Place the ramekins in the fridge for at least 5 hours, until they firm up.
