Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 piece vanilla bean
• 2.5 teaspoons powdered unflavored gelatin
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar (for raspberry sauce)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, add 2.5 teaspoons of powdered unflavored gelatin to 3 tablespoons of cold water. Set aside to bloom for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and 0.5 cup of granulated sugar.

Step 3

Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and add both the seeds and pod to the cream mixture.

Step 4

Heat the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture begins to steam. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the vanilla bean pod. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

Step 6

Pour the mixture evenly into 6 ramekins or glasses. Let them cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap and refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 7

While the panna cotta sets, prepare the raspberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of fresh raspberries, 0.33 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

Step 8

Cook the raspberry mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds, pressing lightly with a spoon. Allow the sauce to cool completely.

Step 10

To serve, drizzle the chilled panna cotta with the fresh raspberry sauce and garnish with additional fresh raspberries, if desired.
