Panna Cotta with Raspberries Recipe

July 11, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

Delicious!

Panna Cotta is one of my favorite desserts ever! It is so easy, so refreshing and so versatile and is the perfect summer dessert. There are many versions out there and there are many toppings for it, I prefer it with raspberries but you can use almost any berry or mango’s, or whatever you want. There are chocolate versions, vanilla bean versions, almond, etc. Try it today and you will love it too!

Panna Cotta

Adapted from David Lebovitz

Ingredients:

4 cups  heavy cream (or half-and-half)

1/2 cup  sugar

2 teaspoons Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract

2 packets powdered gelatin (about 4 1/2 teaspoons)

6 tablespoons cold water

1. Heat the heavy cream and sugar in a saucepan. Dissolve the sugar and remove from heat then stir in the vanilla extract.

2. Lightly oil eight ramekins with a oil, such as canola.

3. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a medium-sized bowl and let stand 5 to 10 minutes.

4. Pour the warm milk/sugar mixture over the gelatin and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

5. Divide the Panna Cotta mixture into the prepared ramekins, then chill them until firm, which will take at least two hours, preferably overnight.

6. Run a sharp knife around the edge of each ramekin and then dip the bottom of the ramekin into hot water for just a minute. This makes it easier to remove, although it is not a necessary step as you can serve it in the ramikins.

Cream and Sugar mixture
Gelatin sprinkled over cold water
Lightly oil ramekins
Sugar cream mixture into gelatin
Mix well
Divide mixture into ramekins

Raspberry sauce:

1 small package of raspberries

1 tsp of sugar

Raspberries and sugar over low heat.

Place both of the above into a small saucepan and heat gently while crushing berries. Let cool and then push through a sieve to get the juice without seeds. discard the seeds.

To serve, place a tablespoons of raspberries onto a small plate and then unmold the panna cotta and place over the raspberries coulis, add a few fresh raspberries and a sprig of fresh mint.

Notes: I only made a 1/2 of the recipe. In addition, I only had 11/2 cups of cream so I used skim milk. Also, when you place the ramekin into the hot water do not do it for more than 30 seconds or so, otherwise it melts.

Finished!

I have had this dessert many times, in fact on my last trip to Paris in December I ate it everyday. I had it with rhubarb on the bottom and raspberries on top, with just raspberries and another day with small chunks of mango! All versions are delicious.

Add a spring of mint!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood
