Kitchen Equipment Required Medium Saucepan Mixing Bowls Whisk Fine Mesh Sieve Measuring Cups and Spoons Ramekins or Panna Cotta Molds Small Saucepan for Compote Refrigerator Cooking Time Total estimated time: 4 hours (including chilling time) Recipe: Panna Cotta with Mixed Berry Compote Ingredients 500ml (2 cups) heavy cream 100ml (1/2 cup) whole milk 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar 10g (1 envelope or 2 1/2 tsp) unflavored gelatin 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract Pinch of salt 150g (1 cup) mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) 50g (1/4 cup) sugar for compote 15ml (1 tbsp) water Lemon zest (optional) Instructions Step 1: Prepare the Gelatin In a small bowl, pour 50ml (1/4 cup) of the whole milk and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface. Let it stand for about 5-10 minutes to bloom. This step ensures the gelatin dissolves properly in the cream mixture. Step 2: Heat the Cream Combine the heavy cream, remaining milk, and 100g (1/2 cup) of sugar in a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat and whisk gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot, but not boiling. This should take roughly 4-5 minutes. Step 3: Add Gelatin to Cream Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the gelatin mixture along with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Step 4: Strain and Pour Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a mixing bowl to ensure a silky texture by removing any undissolved gelatin particles. Then, divide the mixture evenly into ramekins or molds. Step 5: Chill Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. Allow the panna cotta to set for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Step 6: Make the Berry Compote In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, 50g (1/4 cup) of sugar, and 15ml (1 tbsp) of water. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and the mixture starts to thicken, approximately 5-7 minutes. Add lemon zest for an extra zing, if desired. Step 7: Serve Once the panna cotta is set, run a thin knife around the edges of each mold and turn them out onto plates. Serve each panna cotta with a generous spoonful of mixed berry compote on top, allowing the vibrant color and flavor to elevate this elegant dessert. Conclusion Congratulations on crafting a masterpiece dessert that elegantly combines classic Italian flair with a fresh, modern twist! Your Panna Cotta with Mixed Berry Compote is a delightful balance of creamy textures and vibrant flavors, perfect for impressing guests or indulging in a personal treat. The simplicity of the panna cotta allows the berry compote to shine, making it a versatile dessert that can be tailored to your berry preferences.
