🍮 Creamy Vanilla Panna Cotta with Strawberry Sauce

Ingredients

For the Panna Cotta (Cream Base):

• 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
• 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
• ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean, scraped)
• 2 ½ teaspoons (1 packet) unflavored gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons cold water

For the Strawberry Sauce:

• 2 cups (300 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Gelatin

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 3 tablespoons cold water.
2. Let it sit for 5–7 minutes to bloom (it will look like a gel).

Step 2: Make the Cream Mixture

1. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar.
2. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves (do not let it boil).
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Add Gelatin

1. Stir the bloomed gelatin into the hot cream mixture until fully dissolved.
2. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps for an extra-smooth texture.

Step 4: Chill the Panna Cotta

1. Pour the mixture into serving glasses, ramekins, or molds.
2. Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight, until set.

Step 5: Make the Strawberry Sauce

1. In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
2. Cook over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes, until strawberries soften and sauce thickens.
3. Blend with a hand blender for a smooth sauce (or leave chunky if you like).
4. Let cool completely.

Step 6: Assemble & Serve

1. Once the panna cotta is set, spoon or drizzle strawberry sauce on top.
2. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or extra sliced strawberries.

Serving Suggestions 🍓

• Serve chilled as a light and creamy dessert after dinner.
• Can be made a day ahead, making it perfect for parties.
• Swap strawberries with mango, raspberry, or blueberry sauce for variety.

✨ Result: Smooth, silky panna cotta with a creamy vanilla flavor, topped with a sweet and tangy strawberry sauce — a refreshing, melt-in-your-mouth dessert!
