Ingredients
- 480 ml (2 cups) Greek yogurt
- 240 ml (1 cup) heavy cream
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) cold water
- For the Berry Compote:
- 200 grams (7 ounces) mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Detailed Method of Preparation
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.
- In a saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream and honey until warm and the honey is dissolved. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture, stirring until fully dissolved. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth. Gradually add the warm cream and gelatin mixture, whisking continuously to combine.
- Divide the mixture evenly among 6 serving glasses or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the berries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Top each panna cotta with the berry compote before serving.
Tips for Culinary Success
- For a smoother texture, strain the cream and gelatin mixture before adding it to the Greek yogurt.
- If using frozen berries for the compote, there's no need to thaw them first.
- Experiment with different toppings like caramel sauce, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit.
