Panna Cotta

Recipe View Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, pour the skim milk. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the milk and stir until well combined. Let it sit and 'bloom' for 5-10 minutes. This step is crucial for proper thickening. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Infuse the Cream: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Set over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, watching carefully to prevent it from boiling over. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Incorporate Gelatin: Immediately remove the cream mixture from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture and stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Cook and stir for 1 minute. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture. (1 minute)

Recipe View Portion and Cool: Pour the warm cream mixture evenly into 6 individual ramekins. Allow the ramekins to cool uncovered at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes, or until no longer warm to the touch. (20 minutes)

Recipe View Chill to Set: Once cooled, cover the ramekins tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the panna cotta to set completely.
