Vanilla Panna Cotta Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups half and half
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 3 teaspoons powdered gelatin
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5 tablespoons water
• 7 teaspoons raspberry or strawberry jam ( for serving)

Instructions

1. 1

   Dissolve powdered gelatin in 5 tablespoons of water. Let it stand for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Heat the half and half, milk and sugar in a medium saucepan. Stir the mixture occasionally until the sugar dissolves and remove from the heat. Don't boil.

3. 3

   Add vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Slightly cool the Panna Cotta mixture until just warm. Stir in the gelatin until it is completely dissolved.

5. 5

   Lightly oil the ramekins with a neutral-tasting oil.

6. 6

   Ladle about 1/2 cup of the Vanilla Panna Cotta mixture into each ramekin and chill them in a refrigerator until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.

7. 7

   To remove Panna Cotta from the ramekins, run a sharp knife around the edges of Panna Cotta. Dip each ramekin into a bowl with hot water for a couple of seconds and invert ramekin onto center of a small plate.

8. 8

   Serve with fresh raspberries and a jam of your choice.
