About this dish
Set with powdered gelatin, this vanilla panna cotta holds its shape when turned out onto a plate while the center still shivers.

The sugar is kept modest, so vanilla and dairy come through clean. To unmold, only the base of each cup goes briefly into warm water rather than warming the whole thing.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Sprinkle 8 g gelatin over 30 ml cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
Make sure all granules are moistened so no dry clumps remain before it goes into the warm dairy.
- 2
Combine 300 ml heavy cream, 120 ml milk, and 60 g sugar in a saucepan over medium low heat.
Stir along the bottom until the sugar dissolves, keeping the dairy smooth and preventing any scorching.
- 3
Heat just until steam rises and tiny bubbles appear around the edge, then turn off the heat before a boil starts.
Do not let it bubble hard, since boiling can form a skin and dull the flavor.
- 4
Add the bloomed gelatin off the heat and stir for about 1 minute with the residual warmth until fully dissolved.
If any grains are visible, keep stirring gently until the mixture looks completely smooth.
- 5
Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract, then slowly divide the mixture into cups.
Pour gently to reduce foam, and skim the surface with a spoon if bubbles collect on top.
- 6
Cool at room temperature until the steam is gone, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours until softly set.
To unmold, dip only the bottom of each cup briefly in warm water and turn it out.
