Panna Cotta Recipe

I have been so busy recently and haven't had the chance to post as often as I'd like. Hopefully as my life smooths out a bit, I can start posting more regularly again! For now, here is an easy recipe for a tasty and sophisticated dessert! I have slightly adapted the recipe featured in Bon Apetit

What I used:

• 2 tablespoons of water
• 1.5 tsp of unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 cups of buttermilk
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Prep the gelatin - add 2 tablespoons of water to the gelatin. Let it stand for about 10 minutes until it firms up. Meanwhile, slightly butter the ramekins.
2. Heat cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often until sugar dissolves.
3. Increase heat to a low boil, continuing to stir. Add the gelatin and remove from heat. Stir until gelatin dissolves.
4. Cool the mixture down, stirring occasionally. Add the vanilla extract. 
5. Divide mixture between ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate panna cotta for AT LEAST 4 hours or until overnight. Make sure the refrigerator isn't being constantly opened to make sure the chill doesn't escape.
6. You can keep it in the ramekin or slice around and flip it over onto a plate. Top with berries if you like!
