Photo: Vanilla Panna Cotta Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (about 1/2 packet)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
- Sliced strawberries and fresh mint, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Place the cream in a saucepan. Halve the vanilla bean lengthwise; scrape out the seeds with a knife, then add the seeds and pod to the saucepan. Add the sugar and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Discard the vanilla pod.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the milk in a bowl and let stand until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Stir the gelatin mixture into the hot cream mixture until dissolved, then stir in the yogurt. Divide among six to eight 4-ounce ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
Dip each ramekin three-quarters of the way in warm water and invert onto a plate. Garnish each panna cotta with strawberries and mint, if desired.

This is easy but delicious. For the second year in a row I've made this as part of Christmas brunch. Regarding the consistency, I discovered that letting the yogurt sit out and get closer to room temp before adding helps the finished product come out completely smooth. Not something you see all the time, so it feels special and looks festive with berries served on top.
