Ingredients
- 2 cups 480 ml heavy cream
- 1/4 cup 60 ml water
- 1 tbsp 10g gelatin powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional, omit for strict carnivore
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional topping:
- Whipped cream or bacon crumbles
Instructions
Bloom the Gelatin:
- In a small bowl, combine the water and gelatin powder. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the gelatin fully absorbs the water and becomes spongy.
Heat the Cream:
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil. Stir occasionally.
Dissolve the Gelatin:
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream and whisk until completely dissolved. If using vanilla extract, stir it in at this stage.
Season and Pour:
- Add a pinch of sea salt and mix well. Pour the mixture evenly into ramekins or serving glasses.
Set in the Fridge:
- Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the panna cotta is firm and jiggly.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove from the fridge, garnish with optional toppings if desired, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Substitutions: For a dairy-free version, use carnivore-friendly coconut cream (if allowed).
- Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cover tightly to prevent the absorption of odors.
- Tips: To easily remove panna cotta from ramekins, dip the bottom of the ramekin in warm water for a few seconds before inverting onto a plate.
