Panna Cotta recipe  Share this recipe on FacebookPanna Cotta, literally meaning cooked cream in Italian, is a simple, light and delicious Italian dessert. This recipe uses a strawberry coulis for topping but you can use any kind of coulis you like.
Preparation time: 5 minutes, Cooking time: 20 minutes, Serves: 6
Ingredients 2 1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 envelopes gelatin, unflavored
For the coulis (topping)
1 package frozen strawberries, thawed
3/4 cup of sugar
Directions In a saucepan add the 2 cups of milk, the heavy cream and the sugar. Bring to a heat and simmer. In the remaining 1/2 cup of milk add the gelatin and stir. Remove the liquid mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla and the
milk with the softened gelatin. Pour into 6 dessert cups and chill for at least
two to three hours.
To make the topping
Add the strawberries and sugar in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the seeds using a sift and pour the mixture in a pan, over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
To serve the panna cotta, run a knife around the edge of each dessert cup, unmold on a plate and drizzle with the coulis on top.
Notes and tips Panna cotta is often misspelled as panna cota or pana cota. The correct spelling, as pointed out by a reader is panna cotta (panna is Italian for cream and cotta is Italian for cooked). Thanks to Sherry for pointing this out!
