Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 3 min.

Put 2 sheets gelatin into a bowl of cold water.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

Meanwhile, pour 500 ml liquid cream, 100 ml whole milk and 70 g caster sugar into a pan.

After this time, pour cream through a strainer to remove all small bits of vanilla pods.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 2 min.

Add gelatin to cream (after draining and drying with a cloth) and stir with a whisk or a maryse.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 10 min.

Put cream bowl into cold water, stirring from time to time.

Stage 6

When cream is cold, divide it between glasses, cover with plastic film and refridgerate overnight.

Stage 7

Next day, your panna cotta is set and ready to serve. You can eat it like this, but it's much better with something slightly acicidic like a fruit coulis (fruit purée).

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by a plastic film.
