Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
If you don’t have vanilla extract, vanilla sugar works really well here. If you’re out of berries, sliced mango or peaches look just as nice on top. And if you want it to look a bit more special, just add a spoon of fruit coulis over the top for a little extra shine.
How to Make Panna Cotta in Glasses
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes, until it looks spongy and fully softened.
- In a saucepan, combine cream, milk, and sugar over medium-low heat.
- Tip: Heat gently — the mixture should feel warm, not boiling, for the smoothest texture.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves and the liquid looks silky.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Add the bloomed gelatin and whisk until completely dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into small glasses or ramekins for a clean, modern look.
- Let cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
- Before serving, top with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey.
- Tip: Serving in glasses is the fastest way — no unmolding needed, and it always looks elegant.
- Serve chilled, with the creamy surface and fruit topping looking fresh and glossy.
Serving Ideas
Top it with mixed berries and a spoonful of berry sauce if you want something fresh and a little juicy. Or go the sweeter route and finish it with a drizzle of honey and a few shaved chocolate curls on top.
