2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
½ cup (120ml) whole milk
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons (10ml) vanilla extract
2 ½ teaspoons (7g) powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons (30ml) cold water
For the sauce (optional):
1 cup (150g) fresh berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to steam and the sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for a few minutes to soften.
Place the bowl of gelatin over a pot of simmering water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Pour the dissolved gelatin into the cream mixture and whisk until well combined.
Divide the mixture among serving glasses or ramekins. Fill them about ¾ full.
Let the panna cotta cool to room temperature, then cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
While the panna cotta is chilling, prepare the sauce (if desired). In a small saucepan, combine the fresh berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once the panna cotta is set, remove the plastic wrap from each glass. If needed, run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta to help loosen it from the glass.
Serve the panna cotta chilled, either directly in the glasses or unmolded onto serving plates, with the berry sauce spooned over the top.
