Strawberry Panna Cotta (Christmas 2017)

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Italian
Yield: 4

Materials

  • 7 oz milk
  • 7 oz whipping cream
  • ½ tbsp gelatin powder
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Strawberry Sauce

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries
  • 2 tbsp water
  • cup sugar

Instructions

  • Dissolve gelatin in 2 tbsp cold water and let it swell for 5-10 minutes
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the cream, milk and sugar to a simmer over medium-low heat (do not boil). When sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Let cool for 5 minutes before adding the gelatin.
  • Add gelatin into the milk mixture and stir until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
  • Pour mixture into serving glasses (smaller) or ramekins and refrigerate for about 4 hrs or overnight (until it sets).
  • To prepare the sauce, wash the strawberries, drain well and remove all leaves. Cut strawberries into quarters and put them in a small saucepan with sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat immediately.
  • Using a blender or food processor, blend the mixture until it becomes smooth. Pass through a strainer to remove seeds.
  • Cover, let it cool to room temperature and then refrigerate. Pour strawberry sauce over the panna cotta when ready to serve.
