Method
Cover the gelatin with a small amount of cold water according to the package instructions and let it bloom for 10 minutes.
Combine the cream, milk2, half the sugar, and vanilla sugar, and heat over low heat for 4–5 minutes without bringing to a boil.
Remove the mixture from the heat, add the gelatin, and stir until completely dissolved.
Pour the cream mixture into glasses and let cool for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Refrigerate the glasses for at least 4 hours, until the mixture is set and springy.
Heat the berries with the remaining sugar for 5–7 minutes until soft, then mash and let cool.
Spoon the chilled berry sauce over the set panna cotta before serving.
Tips
- Why it works
- Soak the gelatin in cold water so it doesn't clump when heated. Warm the cream and milk over low heat so they don't curdle.
- Substitutions
- Replace frozen berries with fresh ones or jam (30 g), but cut the sugar to 10 g. Use ½ tsp vanilla extract instead of vanilla sugar.
- Common mistakes
- If the panna cotta doesn't set, the gelatin didn't fully dissolve or the mixture was too hot when poured. It should be firm, not liquid.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm the sauce separately in a pan and don't heat the panna cotta. Don't freeze.
- Serve with
- Serve at a birthday or family dinner with tea after a meat dish to refresh the palate.
