Delicious Strawberry Panna Cotta Recipe - Creamy Italian Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin powder (or 2 sheets of gelatin)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup water (for blooming gelatin)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh strawberries, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it blooms.

    Ensure the water is cold for proper blooming.
  2. Heat the Cream

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.

    Stir constantly to prevent scorching.
  3. Add Bloomed Gelatin

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

    If using sheet gelatin, make sure it's fully melted.
  4. Mix in Pureed Strawberries

    Incorporate the pureed strawberries and vanilla extract into the cream mixture, stirring well.

    Adjust sweetness if desired.
  5. Pour into Molds

    Pour the mixture into individual molds or cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

    Cover with plastic wrap to avoid any odor absorption.
  6. Serve

    Once set, gently unmold the panna cotta and garnish with sliced strawberries before serving.

    Dip molds in hot water briefly to help release.
