Method
How to Make Espresso Panna Cotta
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
Once the cream mixture is hot, remove it from the heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until it's completely dissolved.
Gently fold in the brewed espresso and vanilla extract until well combined.
Carefully pour the panna cotta mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Espresso Panna Cotta!
