Strawberry Panna Cotta

Print Recipe

Strawberry Panna Cotta is a creamy, smooth Italian dessert made with sweetened cream and fresh strawberries. It’s lightly set with gelatin and served chilled, making it a perfect summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp sugar (for strawberries)
  • Fresh mint or extra strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture is hot but not boiling.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
  4. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  5. Pour the mixture into serving glasses or molds. Allow to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  6. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until strawberries break down and form a sauce (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Let the strawberry sauce cool. Then spoon over the chilled panna cotta.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint or strawberries before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor.
  • You can strain the strawberry sauce for a smoother texture.
  • Panna cotta can be made a day in advance for convenience.
