Description
Light and creamy strawberry panna cotta made with fresh strawberries! Serve topped with mixed berries for a delicious spring or summer dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp unflavored gelatin
- 2 Tbsp cold water
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, trimmed and quartered
- 1/2 cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- berries, for serving
Instructions
- Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl, and let stand for 5 minutes. Combine strawberries, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, mashing the berries with a spoon, until broken down and syrupy, about 8 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing firmly on solids.
- Return berry puree to saucepan; add milk and bring to a low simmer (look for small bubbles along the edge of the pan). Add the gelatin mixture and stir for 1 minute, until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk in heavy cream and lemon juice until smooth.
- Place six 4-ounce ramekins on a level tray. To avoid air bubbles on the surface, pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer into ramekins. Cover with plastic and carefully transfer to the refrigerator. Chill until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve topped with fresh berries.
