Necessary ingredients
To create a decorative and delicious confection at home, you don't need to stock up on exotic ingredients. To make creamy jelly, you'll need:
- gelatin – 2 teaspoons;
- milk – 1/3 cup;
- sugar - half a glass;
- half a glass of cream with 30% fat content;
- a packet of vanilla sugar.
Method of preparation
- The recipe for this creamy treat begins with pouring milk into a small bowl and adding gelatin. Let the mixture sit for a while to set.
- In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and sugar, then place the mixture on the stove. Bring it to a boil. Watch closely during cooking, as the cream can rise to the surface very quickly. Pour the gelatin and milk into the cream and slowly stir the contents of the pan until the ingredients are completely dissolved. Cook the mixture for about one minute, then remove from the stove. This recipe calls for vanilla, so add the last ingredient to the dessert mixture immediately after cooking.
- Pour the resulting liquid into six glasses or molds, then let them cool at room temperature, uncovered. The recipe suggests covering the dessert with plastic wrap and placing it in a cool place for at least four hours after it has cooled. Ideally, this creamy treat should sit in the refrigerator overnight.
Panna cotta is typically served in bowls, garnished with chocolate or berry sauce. This exquisite Italian dessert can also be garnished with a few whole berries and a mint leaf for a truly impressive, stylish treat. If you'd like to invert the dessert for serving on a flat plate, the recipe suggests using silicone molds.
This delicate treat will make a striking and, most importantly, delicious addition to any dessert table. It's also a perfect treat for breakfast or evening tea.
