Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream

- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and diced (for topping)
- 1/2 cup peach puree (fresh or canned)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
How to Make Peach Panna Cotta
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm (do not boil).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- While the panna cotta sets, prepare the peach topping. In a small bowl, combine the diced peaches, peach puree, and lemon juice. Mix gently and let it sit at room temperature.
- Once the panna cotta is set, top each cup with the peach mixture. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid any lumps in the panna cotta.
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor; they should be juicy and fragrant.
- For a smoother texture, strain the peach topping mixture before serving.
Easy Variations
- Substitute peaches with other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or mango for a different flavor twist.
- Add a splash of almond extract for a nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with peaches.
- For a lighter version, replace half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
What to Serve With It
- A dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
- A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
- A side of shortbread cookies for a delightful crunch.
