Ingredients:

For the Panna Cotta:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) powdered gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

For the Berry Compote:

  • 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Panna Cotta:
    • In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.
  2. Heat the Cream Mixture:
    • In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar.
    • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to simmer (do not boil).
  3. Combine Gelatin Mixture:
    • Remove the cream mixture from heat. Add the softened gelatin mixture and vanilla extract, stirring until completely dissolved.
  4. Pour into Molds:
    • Lightly grease or spray molds (ramekins or small bowls) with non-stick cooking spray.
    • Pour the Panna Cotta mixture evenly into the prepared molds.
  5. Chill:
    • Allow the Panna Cotta to cool to room temperature, then cover each mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set and firm.
  6. Make the Berry Compote:
    • In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
    • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  7. Serve:
    • To unmold the Panna Cotta, carefully run a knife around the edge of each mold to loosen.
    • Place a serving plate over each mold and invert to release the Panna Cotta.
  8. Garnish and Enjoy:
    • Spoon the berry compote over the Panna Cotta just before serving.
    • Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves, if desired.
