The February 2011 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mallory from A Sofa in the Kitchen. She chose to challenge everyone to make Panna Cotta from a Giada De Laurentiis recipe
February’s challenge was really easy and delicious. I don’t know why I’ve never made panna cotta before. My teenage children loved it. One ate it for breakfast and the other for an after school snack! Thanks you, Miss Mallory!
Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta
Print RatePrep Time: 20 minutes
setting time: 6 hours
Total Time: 6 hours 20 minutes
Servings:6 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
- 3 cups whipping cream 35% butterfat
- 1/2 granulated sugar
- pinch salt
- 1 vanilla bean
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a bowl or pot and sprinkle gelatin evenly and thinly over the milk (make sure the bowl/pot is cold by placing the bowl/pot in the refrigerator for a few minutes before you start making the Panna Cotta). Let stand for 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
- Cut the vanilla bean in half and with the back of the knife or a teaspoon scrap out the seeds.
- Pour the milk into the saucepan. Add the scraped vanilla bean seeds and the vanilla bean.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Heat this mixture until it is hot, but not boiling, about five minutes. (I whisk it a few times at this stage).
- Next, add the cream, sugar, and pinch of salt. Making sure the mixture doesn't boil, continue to heat and stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat, allow it to sit for a few minutes to cool slightly. Then pour into the glass or ramekin.
- Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Add garnishes and serve.

I also had never made panna cotta before. Your cookies look really nice.
Especially love the mixed sweetened berry topping, it just intensified both the presentation and definitely the taste too… Great choice of combination!
You did such a great job with it! I'm so impressed! 😀
I'd say you hit it out of the ball park with both your florentines and the panna cotta.
Its beautiful. My daughter liked it too but she thought it a little on the sweeter side.
Hey, people pour cream in their coffee for breakfast, so what's wrong with actually spooning it directly into your mouth? 🙂
Your panna cotta looks creamilicious and the presentation, in that pool of berrie with the cookie, is muy elegante! Beautifully done!
Delicious, simply delicious.
Kisses
Your panna cotta looks delicious and the saucer is gorgeous!
Your panna cotta came out fantastic and your cookies look scrumptious!
Panna cotta for breakfast? What a great idea 🙂 I didn't have corn syrup either, I used golden syrup instead. Pretty flowery florentines.
It all looks great – I especially like the unmolded panna cotta. The berries look great – I wish mine looked that good.
I love your berry compote and gorgeous cut glass serving glasses!
Ciao, I found you on Flavia's comments, sei italiana?
I see that you live in Australia, I live in New Zealand, just across the ditch!
Beautiful blog, I'll follow you!
ciao

Your panna cotta looks wonderful with the berries on top. I know I'd be up early if that was on the breakfast table!
🙂
Marcellina, love the panna cotta in a pool of berry goodness… yum!! Beautiful and delicious, as always!
The berry panna cotta looks beautiful, and with all of that fruit you can almost convince yourself it would make a healthy breakfast!
Great work! I think a lot of people have avoided making Panna Cotta thinking it was harder than it is! Its now on my regular dessert list!
great job and those cookies came out perfect
I love both of these. I even make a yogurt variation of panna cotta. Yours looks so dreamy and the creamy with the crisp is a delight.
I love panna cotta….. and yours is wonderful!!!
But what time is it now over there???
Here it's 5 pm on saturday!!!
Hugs, baci, Flavia
