  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make a classic panacota from cream? Prepare the specified products. Which cream is better to take for panacota? I take 20% fat content. This is optimal for me: the dessert is not too greasy, but at the same time the creamy taste is preserved. For vanilla flavor, I add vanilla sugar. If possible, take vanilla in pods. Or vanillin - on the tip of a knife.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Pour gelatin into a bowl and soak it according to the instructions on the package. I add 3-4 tablespoons of water. Constantly stirring, dissolve the gelatin in water.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Pour the cream into a saucepan, add sugar (you can change the amount of sugar to your liking) and vanilla sugar. If you use vanilla in pods, then cut it lengthwise with a sharp knife, remove all the seeds and add them to the creamy mass. Put the pod itself in a saucepan too (then remove it). Put a saucepan on medium heat and bring to a boil (but do not boil).

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Add gelatin to the cream and mix thoroughly. Cool the cream until warm. Pour the mixture into molds, it can be transparent glasses, cream bowls or silicone cupcake molds. I use special jelly molds, they need to be rinsed with cold water beforehand so that the dessert can be easily removed after.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Put the panacota molds in the refrigerator until completely solidified (this will take several hours - the exact time depends on the quality of the gelatin used). If you need to prepare a dessert in a short time, instead of a refrigerator, you can put the dessert in the freezer for 10-20 minutes. Serve cool panacota with fresh berries, fruit syrups or berry sauces.

Panakota (ital. panna cotta "boiled cream") is a Northern Italian dessert made of cream, sugar, gelatin and vanilla.

The homeland of the dessert is the Italian Piedmont. The literal translation of this delicacy from Italian sounds like "boiled cream", but it is rather a cream pudding with the addition of various ingredients. The traditional panna cotta has a white color.

Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.

To make a dish using gelatin work, be sure to pre-soak the gelatin in cold boiled water. The colder the water, the better. Leaf gelatin can simply be put in a bowl of water. Before soaking the powdered gelatin, first rinse the dishes with cold water so that the crystals do not stick to the bottom. It is important to pour powdered gelatin with water, and not pour it into the water. Otherwise, lumps cannot be avoided. Then allow time for the gelatin to swell (the exact time is indicated on the package).
The swollen gelatin is heated to 70-80 degrees. It should never be brought to a boil!. At a temperature of 100 ° C, the mass becomes fibrous and viscous, collagen protein is destroyed and gelatin loses its jelly-forming properties.
