Classic Panna Cotta Recipe | One of the Easiest Italian Desserts by Lounging with Lenny

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

vanilla bean

🥗Healthier: vanilla extract

💰Cheaper: vanilla essence

Vanilla extract is easier to find and less expensive.

fruit puree

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Fresh fruit provides natural sweetness and flavor.

Prepare the gelatine by mixing it with 3 tablespoons of cold water and letting it sit.

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, sugar, and the scraped vanilla bean. Heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.

Remove from heat and stir in the softened gelatine until fully dissolved.

Pour the mixture into serving cups or molds and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or overnight.

For the berry sauce, combine strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Strain the berry sauce if desired, and let it cool.

Once the panna cotta is set, top with the berry sauce and garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves.
