Creamy Vanilla Panna Cotta

Ingredients

• 2¼ teaspoons gelatine powder (or 1 knox gelatine package)
• 2 tablespoons milk (I used 2 %)
• 2 cups cream whole/whipping or heavy cream with at least 30% fat content
• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup assorted frozen berries of choice (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries etc)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon corn starch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium pot add the cream and sugar, heat on medium / low heat just until the cream starts to boil, immediately remove the pot from the heat.

2. 2

   In a small pot add the 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle the gelatine on top, let stand one minute, then place the pot on low/medium heat and heat and stir until the gelatine has dissolved (1-2 minutes), do not bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat.

3. 3

   Add the gelatine mixture and the vanilla to the cream mixture, combine well with a whisk. Pour into 4 molds or glasses, let the mixture cool then refrigerate for at least 5 hours or over night or until the panna cotta is firm.

4. 4

   If using molds then dip the mold into boiling water for about 3-4 seconds, gently slide the tip of a knife around the edge of mold and invert onto a plate. Top with the berry topping and serve. If using a glass then add the berry topping to the top of the panna cotta. Enjoy!

5. 5

   In a medium pot mix together berries, sugar, cornstarch, water and lemon juice, bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer until desired thickness. Pour into a bowl, let cool then refrigerate for at least a few hours.
