Panna Cotta

Panna Cotta is perhaps the most well known of Piedmont's dessert recipes found in restaurants of all types everywhere. It is very easy to make plus delicious.

Ingredients

• 3/4 tsp. gelatin

• 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream

• 1/4 cup (60g) sugar

• 1 to 1/2 teaspoons vanilla or 1 small vanilla bean

• pinch of salt

Preparation

1) Dissolve the gelatin in the cream for about 5 minutes.

2) Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the first bubbles appear around the edge of your pan, remove from heat and add the gelatin, stir until completely mixed.

3) Pour the mixture into small baking dishes and set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight. Serve with fresh fruit, balsamic vinegar (a nice thick high quality one), port, or a sweet sauce.
