Directions

  1. Pour the milk into a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the milk. Allow mixture to sit until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes.

  2. Combine the cream and 1/4 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the gelatin mixture, cook and stir until gelatin dissolves completely, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture evenly into ramekins, cover and chill at least 4 hours.

  3. To make the strawberry sauce, combine the strawberries, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. While the mixture cooks, crush the strawberries with a potato masher. Simmer the sauce until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes, cool.

  4. Remove chilled ramekins from the refrigerator shortly before serving. Dip the bottoms of the cups in warm water to help loosen the custard. Run a thin-bladed knife around the inner edge of each ramekin to loosen the dessert, turn onto a dessert plate to unmold. Spoon strawberry sauce over panna cotta to serve.

Recipe Note

My own version of the Italian dessert favorite. 'Panna Cotta' literally means 'cooked cream.' I made it for my husband to take to a work function and they loved it! They send him home with a request for it every year now! I created the simple strawberry sauce to accompany it. It really makes the dish!
