What is Panna Cotta?

The words Panna Cotta actually mean “cooked cream” in Italian! So, as you can now see, this dessert comes straight from the heart of Italy! Panna cotta is a delicious dessert that is made from cooking up some cream and gelatin. It has a similar texture to pudding, custard, or Creme Brûlée. The reason that panna cotta is different is that it uses gelatin instead of eggs. It is actually really easy to make! This is a dessert that looks fancy but can be made even if you are not a master chef! It doesn’t take too long to put together. You just have to have the patience to wait overnight to eat it! But the presentation of it speaks for itself, it looks amazing! I also love how sweet it is! It’s so well balanced with the berries that it’s the perfect combo! You can serve this as a dessert to your main course or even bring it to a party or get-together. It’s a dessert that’s so delicious and will definitely impress all of your guests!

Half and Half: This is the cream that will become the base of the entire dessert! Gelatin: I use unflavored gelatin so that the flavor of the cream can speak for itself! Granulated sugar: This will add sweetness to the panna cotta. Vanilla extract: If you want a deeper and a little bit stronger and more authentic vanilla taste then use some vanilla bean paste instead!Salt: This will enhance all of the flavors of the other ingredients.

I love this dessert because it is easy to make and looks like a million bucks! It will fly off of the table because everyone is going to go crazy over it!

Unmolding

Berry Sauce

Dissolve the gelatin: Make sure that you are taking the time to bloom the gelatin! This means that you’re allowing it to absorb in the half and half. This can take about 3-5 minutes and you don’t want to skip this step! When you “bloom” gelatin then you are making it so that the end result of your dessert is ultra smooth. Don’t let it boil: If you let your mixture come to a boil then it will never thicken. And this means that you won’t be able to set it or get the right texture to make this dessert! So watch it carefully as you are cooking it! You don’t have to use a mold: If you won’t want to have to worry about getting your panna cotta out of a mold, then just pour it into containers that you plan on serving it in! Then, you can just skip the unmolding step altogether!
