Originally thought to be from Piedmont in North Italy, this Panna Cotta is a show-stopper. See the full recipe below…..

Panna = Cream
Cotta = Cooked

Cooked CREAM, get it? That means you should not be using milk, half and half, or light cream in this recipe!

PANNA COTTA RECIPE
Makes 4-6 panna cottas

Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream (500ml, or 1 pint)
2 ½ tblsp sugar (45gr, or 1 ½ oz.)
1 vanilla pod
1 leaf of gelatine
1 tsp vanilla extract (not vanilla essence)
1 tbsp dark rum (optional)
2 x cups mixed berries

Process

Soak gelatine in a little cold water until soft.
Grab a heavy based pot and add cream and sugar.
Split and scrape out vanilla pod. Add whole pod and vanilla extract.
Gently bring to the boil, then take off the heat.
Mix in gelatine until dissolved.
Mix in rum, then strain through a fine sieve.
Add to moulds and refrigerate (preferably overnight) until set.

To make the sauce

Add berries to small pot with 1 ½ tbsp sugar.
Cook on a low heat for 15 minutes.

To turn out Panna Cottas

Dip moulds in warm water for 5 seconds.
Gently turn out.
They may require a firm ‘jolt’ to release them from their moulds!
Serve with berry sauce.

  1. Is there a halal version of this? Like with no alcohol or gelatin… maybe? 😅

  2. I have never videographically been impressed by a recipe video before this 👏👏👏👏👏👏

  3. first of all the video is awesome for a cooking tutorial, second of all i tried this recipe and it tastes so good im in love with it, because of this video i realized that not adding a milk makes the panna cotta tastes better. Thank you so much for sharing this!

  4. Great Video, but much better without the disturbing music. Full marks for the effort.

  5. One chef makes panna cotta mix it with egg instead of gelatine and he claimed it was more authentic..

  6. It's an absolutely great looking and tasting dessert. Not too good if you're on a diet, though. :/

  7. I think the authentic recipes don't use gelatin, but instead thicken with egg whites. Anyway people seem to like your video style.

  8. That’s not authentic neither….
    NO GELATIN….
    EGG WHITES…
    Cook in the oven….
    Ahhhh….delicious authentic Panna Cotta !!!!
