Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cold brew coffee
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Warm the Cream and Sugar: In a saucepan over low heat, gently warm the heavy cream and sugar, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to absorb the water and soften (bloom).
- Combine Gelatin and Coffee with Cream: Add the bloomed gelatin mixture and cold brew coffee to the warm cream mixture. Stir constantly until the gelatin dissolves fully and the mixture is homogeneous and smooth.
- Chill to Set: Pour the panna cotta mixture into individual ramekins or molds. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until the dessert is completely set and firm to the touch.
- Unmold and Serve: To serve, briefly dip the bottoms of the ramekins in warm water for a few seconds to loosen the panna cotta. Invert onto serving plates and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use cold brew coffee for a smooth, rich coffee flavor without bitterness.
- Do not boil the cream mixture to prevent curdling and ensure the gelatin sets properly.
- If preferred, substitute sugar with a sugar alternative for a lower glycemic index.
- For an added touch, garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid any grainy texture.
