INGREDIENTS

• • 50 cl of full-fat liquid cream
  • 80 g of sugar
  • 1 vanilla pod (or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract)
  • 3 gelatin sheets (or 2 g of agar-agar)
  • Red fruit coulis or any topping of your choice (caramel, chocolate, etc.)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the gelatin:

1. • Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 10 minutes. If using agar-agar, skip this step.
2. Heat the cream:
   • Pour the liquid cream into a saucepan.
   • Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds, then add them to the cream (or add the vanilla extract).
   • Add the sugar and heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it gently simmers (do not let it boil).
3. Add the gelatin or agar-agar:
   • Once the cream is hot, remove the saucepan from the heat.
   • Drain the gelatin sheets well and add them to the hot cream. Stir until the gelatin completely dissolves.
   • If using agar-agar, add it to the cream before heating and boil the mixture for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly.
4. Pour into molds:
   • Pour the mixture into small molds or serving glasses.
   • Let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or ideally overnight) to set.
5. Serve:
   • Carefully unmold the panna cotta (if using small molds), or serve directly in the glasses.
   • Add red fruit coulis, fresh fruit pieces, caramel, or melted chocolate as desired.

TIP

• To make unmolding easier, briefly dip the molds in warm water before turning them over.
