Vanilla Panna Cotta
Vanilla Panna Cotta is a delicious dessert made with vanilla beans, strawberries and cream. It's easy, light and so delightful!
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups fat-free milk
- 1 vanilla bean (split open, or vanilla paste)
- 2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin (Knox)
- 1 1/2 cups half & half cream
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Place the milk in a medium heavy saucepan with the seeds from the vanilla bean.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the milk and let it stand for 10 minutes to soften the gelatin grains.
- In the meantime, prepare an ice bath in a large plastic bowl.
- After 10 minutes have passed, heat the saucepan and stir over medium heat just until the gelatin dissolves but the milk does not boil, about 3 minutes.
- Add the half & half, 5 tbsp sugar and salt.
- Whisk well and and leave until the mixture is hot, but do not let it come to a boil, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, then transfer the liquid into a clean, metal medium-sized bowl.
- Place the bowl in the ice bath to cool for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Divide the mixture evenly, about 1/2 cup each between 6 small dessert bowls or glass parfait glasses, then cover each with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
- One hour before serving, combine sugar and halved strawberries in a medium bowl, tossing to coat.
- Cover and chill, tossing strawberries occasionally.
- Drain strawberries before serving.
- When ready to eat, spoon the fresh strawberries over the panna cotta and serve.
