Delicious White Chocolate Panna Cotta Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 5 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 packet gelatin powder (unflavored)
  • 2 tbsp water (for blooming gelatin)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for flavor)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Bloom the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes.

    Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved before adding it to the mixture.
  2. Heat the Cream

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering.

    Do not let it boil to prevent scorching.
  3. Melt the Chocolate

    Remove the cream from heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth.

    Using high-quality chocolate will enhance the flavor.
  4. Combine Gelatin

    Add the bloomed gelatin to the chocolate mixture, stirring until completely dissolved.

    If using vanilla extract, add it at this stage.
  5. Pour and Chill

    Pour the mixture into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.

    Cover the cups with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
