Recipe: Panna cotta with strawberry gelée
Panna cotta is a great dessert because:
- It’s good
- It’s super easy and quick to make
- It’s Italian 🙂
You can’t get any easier than this. As the name says (“Cooked cream”), the recipe is basically “heat the cream and add gelatin“, that’s it.
Anyone can make it, and it’s particularly handy when you don’t have much time to prepare a dessert for your guests: I can guarantee than it can be made in 15 minutes (ok, then you need to wait a bit for the gelatin to have effect)!
Panna cotta is usually topped with a gelée (which is just fruit purée with gelatin) and for this version I chose strawberries, but you can choose any other fruit (blueberries, raspberries, mango,… but avoid citrus fruits, kiwi and pineapple which don’t work well with gelatin).
So you don’t have any excuse now, even if you don’t have an oven! Here’s the recipe!
