Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream (480 ml)
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons gelatin powder (about 8 g)
  • 3 tablespoons cold water (45 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon pure rosewater
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered (225 g)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (25 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons water (30 ml), optional for thinning coulis

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 2 1/2 teaspoons of gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove the cream mixture from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved (1-2 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure rosewater and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Adjust rosewater to taste if desired.
  5. Pour the mixture into 4-6 serving glasses or ramekins. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. While panna cotta chills, combine 1 1/2 cups hulled and quartered strawberries, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add up to 2 tablespoons water if needed to thin.
  7. Optionally strain the coulis through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a smoother texture.
  8. Serve panna cotta chilled topped with fresh strawberry coulis. Garnish with a strawberry slice or edible flower if desired.

Notes

Bloom gelatin properly to avoid lumps. Do not boil the cream mixture to preserve gelatin setting ability. Adjust rosewater carefully as it is potent. Chill panna cotta at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Strain coulis for a smoother finish. Dairy-free option: substitute cream and milk with full-fat coconut milk.
