1

Gather the ingredients

First things first, let's make sure we have everything we need. Grab 2 cups of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 1/2 teaspoons of powdered gelatin, 2 tablespoons of cold water, and your favorite mixed berries for the compote.

Prepare the Panna Cotta

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and granulated sugar over medium-low heat until it starts to steam. Be patient, we're just warming it up! Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for a minute or two. Then, stir the gelatin mixture into the warm cream until it is fully dissolved.

3

Pour and chill

Pour the Panna Cotta mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins. Let them cool to room temperature, and then cover them with plastic wrap. Pop them in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours, or even better, overnight. This will give the Panna Cotta time to set and become beautifully firm and creamy.

Make the berry compote

While the Panna Cotta is chilling, let's whip up a delightful berry compote. In a saucepan, combine your mixed berries and a sprinkle of sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices. Remove from the heat and let it cool before transferring to a container.

Ready to serve!

Once the Panna Cotta is fully set, gently remove it from the fridge. Top each cup with a generous spoonful of the berry compote. You can also garnish with a sprig of mint or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra fancy vibes. Voila! You've mastered the art of creating Perfectly Balanced Panna Cotta with Berry Compote. Enjoy!
