Vanilla Panna Cotta with Caramel Sauce and Berries400 min · 6 individual panna cottas · Recipe card
Ingredients
- 600 g heavy cream
- 150 g whole milk
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean (about 5 g), split and scraped, or 5 g vanilla extract
- 7 g powdered gelatin
- 35 g cold water, for blooming gelatin
- 150 g granulated sugar, for caramel
- 60 g water, for caramel
- 30 g hot water, to loosen caramel
- 150 g strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 60 g blackberries
- 6 g fresh mint leaves
Let’s make it
- Lightly oil six small cylindrical molds, about 150 ml each, and set them on a tray. Sprinkle gelatin over 35 g cold water and leave to bloom for 5–10 minutes.
- Combine cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla bean and seeds in a saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring, until steaming and the sugar dissolves; do not boil. Remove from the heat, whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then strain. If using vanilla extract, stir it in now.
- Divide the mixture among the molds. Cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, until fully set.
- For the caramel, add 150 g sugar and 60 g water to a small saucepan. Heat without stirring until the syrup turns a deep amber. Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in 30 g hot water; it will bubble vigorously. Cool until pourable.
- To unmold, briefly dip each mold in warm water, keeping the water below the rim, then loosen the edge and invert onto a plate. Spoon caramel over each panna cotta and around it. Garnish with sliced strawberries, a blackberry, and mint leaves.
- Serve chilled. Cover and refrigerate any remaining panna cotta and fruit separately; use within 3 days. Refrigerate leftover caramel in a sealed container and gently warm it until pourable before serving.
