Panna Cotta w/ Strawberry Reduction
Panna cotta is italian dessert , it is really easy and needs to be made in advance . I like any dessert that can be made super easy and in advance . This will take nothing but 5-10 minutes preparation and you’re done .
Direction :
4 cups of heavy cream
1/2 cup of sugar
2 tsp. of vanilla extract , or you can use 1 vanilla beans , scrapped
2 packets of unflavored gelatin , about 4 1/2 tsp.
6 tbsp. of cold water
1. In a pot , heat the sugar and heavy cream , until sugar dissolve , do not let it boil .
2. In a large bowl , sprinkle the gelatin into the water ( 6 tbsp. cold water ) . Let is sit about 5-10 minutes .Then pour the very warm heavy cream into the gelatin , and whisk until the gelatin dissolves .
3. Pour into ramekins , wine glass etc .
Strawberry reduction is pureed strawberry with sugar , then cook until it becomes very thick , almost like a jam consistency , this needs to be chilled .
