Prep Time: 1 Minute
Total Time: 3 Hours
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
This is a quick and easy, classic Italian, light dessert. Great for all to eat. Serve with seasonal fruit. In the Summer, I use local strawberries.
Ingredients
Serves: 6
- 600 ml double cream
- 100 ml full fat milk
- 60 g caster sugar
- 4 leaves of gelatine
- 1 vanilla pod
Method
1 Pour the milk and cream into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
2 Cut the vanilla pod in half and scrape the seeds with the back of a knife into the above mix.
3 Bring to a simmer, remove from the heat.
4 Meanwhile soak the gelatine leaves in cold water until soft. Squeeze out the water and stir into cream mixture.
5 Pass through a sieve.
6 Pour mixture into 6 ramekins.
7 Allow to set in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
8 Carefully dip the ramekins into a bowl of warm water to loosen the Panna Cotta.
9 Invert the ramekin and with a sharp movement release the Panna Cotta from the ramekin holding underneath until plated.
10 Serve with seasonal fruit.
