Ingredients

• 2.5 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Grated chocolate or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom (soften).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is steaming (do not let it boil).

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Add the Kahlua and vanilla extract to the saucepan, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to ensure a silky texture.

Step 6

Carefully pour the mixture into 6 ramekins or serving glasses, dividing it evenly.

Step 7

Allow the panna cotta to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set (preferably overnight for the best texture).

Step 8

To serve, optionally top each panna cotta with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of grated chocolate or cocoa powder.

Step 9

Enjoy this decadent Kahlua Panna Cotta chilled with your favorite coffee or dessert wine!
