Description

Panna cotta is a classic Italian custard that's as easy as it is delicious. This 5-ingredient recipe captures the dish's famously rich, tender texture.

Ingredients

1/3 cup skim milk
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Pour milk into a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin powder over milk and stir until combined. Set aside.
3 Stir heavy cream and sugar together in a saucepan. Set over medium heat and bring to a boil; watch carefully as the cream can quickly bubble up and boil over.
4 Immediately stir gelatin mixture into boiling cream, stirring until completely dissolved. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
5 Remove the pan from the heat and stir in vanilla.
6 Pour cream mixture into 6 individual ramekins. Leave to cool, uncovered, until no longer warm, about 20 minutes.
7 When cool, cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
