Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 cup raspberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
How to Make Raspberry Panna Cotta
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream mixture and stir until completely dissolved.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any lumps.
- Divide the mixture evenly among six small cups or ramekins. Allow them to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- To serve, gently run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta and invert onto a plate. Top with fresh raspberries and drizzle with raspberry sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to prevent any lumps in your panna cotta.
- Allow the panna cotta to chill for at least 4 hours for the best texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter dessert, adjust the sugar to your taste.
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and presentation.
Easy Variations
- Mixed Berry Panna Cotta: Substitute raspberries with strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry version.
- Chocolate Raspberry Panna Cotta: Add 1/2 cup of melted dark chocolate to the cream mixture for a chocolate twist.
- Coconut Panna Cotta: Use coconut milk instead of whole milk for a tropical flavor.
What to Serve With It
- A light fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Shortbread cookies for a crunchy texture.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance the creaminess.
- A glass of sparkling wine for a celebratory touch.
