This is day 2 friends of our 4th of July series. I’m extra excited about today because not only am I sharing one of my favorite recipes, but I’m also hosting a giveaway by Emile Henry! We’ll talk more about that at the end of the post. For now I give you one of my families favorite dessert recipes. I have to be honest. I’ve only given this recipe out to a couple of people so you should all feel very special today!
Panna Cotta is an Italian, custard like dessert. It’s not too sweet, which is perfect in my opinion. I for one am not a huge sweet fan. Most cakes, candies, etc. tend to be too sweet for me. Panna Cotta is just perfect!
Homemade Vanilla Panna Cotta
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 (.25oz.) envelope unflavored gelatin
- 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Pour the gelatin envelope into a bowl with the milk, stir and set aside.
-
In a medium sauce pan heat the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring consistently.
-
Once it's at a rolling boil pour in the milk and gelatin and cook for 1 minute.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Pour into 6 small ramekins and let rest until room temperature.
-
Once they've cooled, cover with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or over night.
