  • 1 ½ cups plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream (double cream) (375ml)
  • 1 cup + 1 tablespoon whole milk (250ml)

Instructions

  1. Put the milk, cream and vanilla in a saucepan and bring to a boil (watch it carefully so it doesn’t over boil). Once boiling turn off the heat.
  2. Add the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  3. Sprinkle the gelatin powder into the mixture whilst whisking to avoid any lumps forming.
  4. Pour the mixture into individual moulds or ramekins and leave to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  5. Note: A skin can form on the top of the panna cotta from the milk. If this happens you can easily remove it with a spoon while the panna cotta is still liquid (before refridgerating) although it’s entirely optional and doesn’t have to be removed.
  6. After 30 minutes, refrigerate the panna cottas for at least 4-6 hours or overnight before serving.

How to remove panna cotta from moulds

  1. Fill a bowl with hot water. Remove the panna cotta from the fridge and place them one at a time into the water for a few seconds.
  2. Overturn the panna cotta onto a serving plate and gently remove the mould, serve.

Notes

  • Note on vanilla - if using vanilla bean paste use the amount stated on the bottle that equals one vanilla bean. We used 15ml which is 3 teaspoons to equal 1 vanilla bean. Alternatively, scrape out the seeds from 1 whole vanilla bean and add that to the milk. Keep the bean for another use or add it to a jar of sugar to create vanilla sugar.
  • Storage - the panna cotta will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
