Vanilla Panna Cotta with Berry Compote
A creamy, indulgent dessert that's easy to make and perfect for Easter, this Vanilla Panna Cotta is paired with a tangy berry compote. Made effortlessly in your Hell's Kitchen 2.5 QT Saucepan, this dessert will wow your guests with its smooth texture and refreshing flavors.
Ingredients
For the Panna Cotta:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 packet (or 2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
2 tbsp cold water
For the Berry Compote:
1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
Directions
- Prepare the Panna Cotta: In your Hell's Kitchen 2.5 QT Saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until it's warm and the sugar has dissolved - do not let it boil.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Once the cream mixture is warm, stir in the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into individual ramekins or glasses and let it cool to room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Make the berry compote: In the same saucepan, add the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Serve: Once the panna cotta is set, spoon the berry compote over the top just before serving. Garnish with extra fresh berries or a mint sprig for an added touch.
