This panna cotta with fresh strawberry sauce is my version of the Italian dessert favorite. "Panna cotta" literally means "cooked cream." I made it for my husband to take to a work function, and they loved it! They send him home with a request for it every year now! I created a simple strawberry sauce to accompany it. It really makes the dish!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 ½ cups milk

  • 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin

  • 1 ½ cups whipping cream

  • 1/2 cup white sugar, divided

  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided

  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, quartered

  • ¼ cup water

Directions

  1. Pour milk into a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over top; let sit until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes.

  2. Combine cream and 1/4 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in gelatin mixture; cook and stir until gelatin dissolves completely, about 3 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Divide mixture among 6 ramekins; cover and chill at least 4 hours.

  3. Combine strawberries, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, water, and remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat, crushing strawberries with a potato masher while sauce cooks. Simmer until sugar has dissolved and sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes; cool.

  4. Remove chilled panna cotta from the refrigerator shortly before serving. Dip bottoms of ramekins in warm water to help loosen the custard. Run a thin-bladed knife around the inner edge of each ramekin to loosen; turn onto a dessert plate to unmold. Spoon strawberry sauce over panna cotta to serve.
