Ingredients
  

For the Panna Cotta
  • 2¼ teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 3 tablespoons cold water For blooming gelatin
  • 480 milliliters heavy cream Use high-quality cream for best results
  • 120 milliliters whole milk
  • 65 grams granulated sugar Adjust sweetness to taste
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract Use real vanilla for better flavor

For the Berry Sauce
  • 300 grams mixed berries (fresh or frozen) Or use seasonal berries
  • 50 grams granulated sugar For sweetening the sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice To enhance flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it evenly over the cold water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin, vanilla extract, and salt until fully dissolved.
  4. Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly among 8 ramekins. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
  5. Refrigerate the ramekins for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Preparing the Berry Sauce
  1. Combine the mixed berries, 50 grams of sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the berries soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
  2. Let the sauce cool completely.
Serving
  1. Unmold the panna cotta onto serving plates, if desired, and spoon the berry sauce over each portion before serving.
