Panna Cotta

Panna Cotta is a silky-smooth Italian dessert that melts in your mouth, traditionally made with cream, sugar, and gelatin. This delightful treat is often served with a fruity sauce, making it a perfect end to any meal.

Ingredients

• Heavy cream - 250 ml
• Whole milk - 100 ml

Steps

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
