The other weekend the boyfriend and I were out at
dinner at a great restaurant in Beaver Creek. When the dessert menu came,
they had panna cotta (one of my favorites). After placing our order for this
wonderful dessert, we were told they didn't have anymore that night.
Heartbroken we settled on chocolate cake, which was great, and on the
house.
Since I was craving panna cotta, I decided to find a recipe online
and try to make it at home. It turned out to be such an easy recipe.
What You Need:
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon powdered
gelatin
4 cups heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/2 cup sugar
Mixed
berries
In a small bowl, combine the water and gelatin and let soak
about 10 minutes (do not stir).
While the gelatin is soaking, in a medium
saucepan, heat the cream, one half vanilla bean and sugar to a simmer over
medium heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Once it simmers, turn off
the heat and add the gelatin mixture, stirring to dissolve the gelatin.
If
the gelatin doesn't dissolve all the way in 3 minutes, turn the heat back on to
warm it until the gelatin dissolves. Pour the mixture into 6 to 8 ramekins or
dessert cups. Chill, uncovered, 2 hours.
