Panna cotta

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Liquid Fresh Cream
  • 1 Vanilla bean
  • 2.7 oz Sugar
  • 0.3 oz Gelatine

Instructions

  1. 1

    To prepare the panna cotta, first soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 10-15 minutes. Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise and extract the seeds with the tip of a knife. In a saucepan, combine the cream and sugar.

  2. 2

    Flavor with the seeds and the vanilla bean. Heat everything over low heat, and when the cream is just about to boil, turn off the heat and remove the vanilla bean.

  3. 3

    When the gelatin is softened, drain it without squeezing too much, and place it in the saucepan with the warm cream. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved; there should be no lumps. Then, fill 4 molds with a capacity of 150 ml each, using a ladle.

  4. 4

    Once the molds are filled, place the panna cotta in the refrigerator to set for at least 5 hours. Once the panna cotta is set, briefly immerse the molds in boiling water, then unmold onto the serving plate. Decorate as desired before serving.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust the salt according to the salt content of the preserves.

May the delicacy of the flavor and the precision in preparation make each spoonful a moment of simple and profound joy. Enjoy your meal and savor the sweetness with care.
