Modern Vanilla and Strawberry Pannacotta Plated Dessert Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

vanilla bean

🥗Healthier: vanilla extract

💰Cheaper: vanilla extract

Vanilla extract is easier to find and less expensive than vanilla beans.

Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, sugar, and salt over medium heat.

Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the cream is hot but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin, stirring until fully dissolved.

Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and add both seeds and pod to the cream mixture.

Let the mixture steep for 10-15 minutes to infuse the vanilla flavor.

Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a measuring cup to remove the vanilla pod.

Add milk to the strained mixture and stir to combine.

Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or molds.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

To serve, dip the molds briefly in hot water to loosen the panna cotta.

Invert onto plates and garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves.
