Panna Cotta is a creamy, elegant Italian dessert made with a few simple ingredients and a smooth vanilla flavor. Its silky texture and versatility make it perfect for any occasion, especially when topped with fresh berries or fruit sauces.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean
  • Fresh berries or fruit sauce, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, pour the cold milk and sprinkle gelatin evenly over the top. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Add the heavy cream and granulated sugar to the pan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and gelatin dissolve completely—do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (or scrape in seeds from a vanilla bean if using).
  4. Pour the mixture into 4 small ramekins or dessert glasses.
  5. Let them cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  6. Serve topped with fresh berries or fruit sauce. To unmold, dip ramekins in warm water for 10–15 seconds and gently invert onto plates.

Notes

  • Infuse with citrus zest for a bright twist.
  • Use all cream for a richer version.
  • Try coconut milk and plant-based gelatin for a dairy-free option.
  • Add espresso or chocolate for depth.
  • Top with caramel or pistachios for indulgence.
  • Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Do not reheat—best served cold.
