Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package powdered gelatin (such as Knox®)

  • 3 cups heavy cream

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 2 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon zest, divided

  • 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®) (Optional)

Directions

  1. Place lemon juice in a small bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over it. Let stand for about 15 minutes until gelatin softens.

  2. Combine heavy cream, sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon zest in a saucepan over medium-low heat; bring to a simmer. Whisk in gelatin mixture until dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in orange liqueur.

  3. Strain the cream mixture into a medium bowl and divide evenly among small glass bowls or ramekins.

  4. Place uncovered panna cottas into the refrigerator until set, at least 4 hours. If time permits, cover the bowls with plastic wrap and chill overnight.

  5. Garnish with remaining lemon zest before serving.
