Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
1 cup mixed berries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
- Whisk together the cream, vanilla seeds, vanilla pod and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat and let stand 10 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small bowl and let stand until the gelatin is moistened, about 5 minutes. Return the saucepan to medium heat and whisk the gelatin mixture into the cream mixture. Bring to a simmer and stir until the gelatin is dissolved.
- Pour the cream mixture into 4 custard cups or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the panna cotta is set, about 4 hours (or up to overnight).
- About an hour before serving, combine the berries, lemon juice and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl, tossing to coat. Let stand until ready to serve.
- To serve, dip the bottoms of the custard cups in a bowl of very hot water. Run a knife around the edges and unmold the panna cotta onto serving plates. (You can also serve right in the custard cups.) Top with the macerated berries.
