Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

How to Make Creamy Berry Panna Cotta

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
4. Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Allow to cool slightly before refrigerating.
5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
6. Once set, top each panna cotta with fresh raspberries and blueberries. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
7. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy goodness!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to fully dissolve the gelatin in the cream mixture to avoid any clumps.
• Allow enough time for the panna cotta to set in the refrigerator; overnight chilling is best for optimal texture.
• For a more intense berry flavor, consider puréeing some of the berries and swirling them into the panna cotta before it sets.

Easy Variations

• Swap the vanilla extract for almond or citrus zest for a different flavor profile.
• Use other berries like strawberries or blackberries depending on your preference.
• For a chocolate twist, melt dark chocolate into the cream mixture before setting.

What to Serve With It

• A light, crisp biscotti pairs wonderfully with the creamy texture.
• Serve alongside a refreshing fruit salad to enhance the fruity notes.
• A scoop of sorbet can provide a contrasting texture and flavor.
