QUICK PANNA COTTA WITH VANILLA AND RASPBERRIES

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp gelatin powder
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1–2 tbsp honey or sugar (optional, for raspberries)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin
    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat the cream mixture
    In a saucepan, combine cream, milk, and sugar. Heat gently until hot but not boiling. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. Add vanilla and gelatin
    Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
  4. Pour and chill
    Divide into ramekins or glasses. Refrigerate for about 3–4 hours until set.
  5. Prepare raspberries
    Toss raspberries with a little honey or sugar if desired.
  6. Serve
    Top chilled panna cotta with raspberries just before serving.

Quick Tips

  • For faster setting, use shallow serving glasses.
  • Frozen raspberries work too — thaw and drain first.
  • Add lemon zest for a brighter flavor.
