What I love about Summer is all the amazing fruits that are in season. Adding them to a dessert makes it all the more enjoyable and is a great way to end a work week. Panna Cotta is one of my favorite dishes it is a classic Italian dessert. It melts in your mouth is so tasty and easy to make. A molded chilled dessert popular throughout Italy. It looks and tastes great especially topped with fresh strawberries and raspberries.
Ingredients:
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin (about 1 tablespoon)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Heat the heavy cream and sugar in a saucepan or microwave. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
2. Lightly oil eight custard cups with a neutral-tasting oil.
3. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a medium-sized bowl and let stand 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Pour the very warm Panna Cotta mixture over the gelatin and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
5. Divide the Panna Cotta mixture into the prepared cups, then chill them until firm, which will take at least two hours but let them stand at least four hours.
If you’re pressed for time, pour the Panna Cotta mixture into wine goblets so you can serve them in the glasses, without unmolding.
6. Run a sharp knife around the edge of each Panna Cotta and unmold each onto a serving plate, and garnish as desired I chose strawberries and raspberries with a strawberry sauce.
