Best Lemon Panna Cotta
Lemon panna cotta is creamy, fresh, and naturally gluten-free. It only takes a few ingredients and it's amazing! Very easy to make!
Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat cream
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 lemon zest
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 (.125 ounce) package powdered gelatin (3,5gr)
- 20 ml water
Instructions
- In a deep saucepan heat 2 cups of cream together with the sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Bring just to boil and reduce to the minimum. Leave for 5 minutes and then remove the pan from the heat.
- Let the temperature go down and transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
- Beat 1 cup of cream until medium peaks and add to the mixture.
- In a very small bowl sprinkle gelatin over water. Heat gelatin for 10 seconds in the microwave until gelatin is dissolved. Add the gelatin to the mixture and mix well.
- Strain the mixture in 1/2 cup ramekins or jars/cups and chill in the fridge, covered, for at least four hours (24hs ideal).
- Dip one ramekin at a time into a bowl of warm water for a few seconds and run a knife around the edge of each ramekin. Invert in the plate and serve with fresh fruits, sauce, or fruit compote.
Notes
You can prepare the panna cotta in advance and finish it at the last minute. You should always keep the ramekins covered in the fridge and unmold them at the last minute.
