Dessert is a great alternative to heavy cakes. Sometimes you want something very light and tender, but at the same time, sweet and tasty. Therefore, the Italian dessert panna cotta is the best way out of the situation. It resembles pudding, but has a much denser texture and richer flavor. Classic panna cotta is made only from cream, sugar and vanilla. But if you wish, you can always experiment by adding cocoa, berries, and even coffee or liqueurs to the recipe.

How to cook panna cotta with strawberries.
1. To prepare this dessert you need to start with strawberry jelly. Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Leave a few berries whole, and mash the rest into a puree using a masher.
2. Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook until the sugar dissolves. Leave aside to cool. Add strawberry puree to the cooled syrup, stir and leave aside for 30 minutes.
3. Soak the gelatin in cold water for five minutes until it swells greatly. Add lemon zest and strawberry puree. Mix everything very well so that there are no lumps left. If necessary, beat the mixture with a blender.
4. Take silicone molds or portion cups for dessert. Place strawberries on the bottom, after cutting them into several parts. Then pour the strawberry mixture so that each portion contains an equal amount. Let it harden in the refrigerator for an hour.
5. About 40 minutes after you have left the strawberry jelly to set, you can start preparing the panna cotta.
6. Combine milk, cream, sugar and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Place on the fire and bring to a boil, cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
7. Soak the gelatin in cold water for a few minutes until it swells greatly. Add gelatin to warm milk mixture. Mix thoroughly, making sure that there are no lumps left.
8. Remove the cups or molds of strawberry jelly from the refrigerator. Now very carefully pour the cooled milk mixture on top. It is very important that the milk is not hot because it can ruin the delicate texture of the jelly.
9. Place in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
If you cooked immediately in portioned cups, then serve the dessert on the table in them. And if in silicone molds, then you need to carefully remove the panna cotta and place it on a plate. Serve garnished with fresh berries and a sprig of mint.

This Italian dessert has driven me crazy since the first time I tried it, which was a couple of years ago. I cook it very often, with or without reason. Previously, I often prepared the classic version from 30-35% heavy cream... tasty, but very high in calories. The first tests of the experiment were diluted cream with milk, I also prepared it with the addition of yogurt, it was also tasty, even just from milk... it wasn’t bad either. Having tried different options, I liked the option made from cream with 10-11% fat content, which tastes great and is acceptable in terms of calories. Any berries, fruits, jelly, caramel, chocolate sauces, etc. can be used as an addition. Today I have strawberries, just like in the summer. Tasty, fresh and very tender!
To prepare, we will need a very small set of products: 11% cream, sugar, instant gelatin, powdered sugar, strawberries and a vanillin pod (of course, you can replace it with vanilla sugar).
Dissolve gelatin in 3 tablespoons of cold water for 5 minutes.
Remove the seeds from the vanillin pod and use the pod itself.
Pour cream into a saucepan, add sugar, seeds and the vanilla pod itself, put on fire and heat until hot, about 50-60 degrees.
Then immediately strain the hot cream.
Add dissolved gelatin and mix well.
Pour into bowls and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Meanwhile, cut the strawberries into pieces.
Mix strawberries with powdered sugar and leave until they release their juice and the powder dissolves.
Place strawberries into the frozen panna cotta and pour over the resulting juice.
Bon appetit!!

The birthplace of panna cotta is the northern Italian region of Piedmont. In the classic version, it is made from sweet cream with vanilla and gelatin. The literal translation of the name of this dessert can be misleading, since it means boiled cream. However, experienced cooks believe that it is more of a cream pudding.
This recipe is a free interpretation of an Italian classic. Instead of cream, it uses sour cream. Additional ingredients for this panna cotta are cocoa and strawberries. Also in my arsenal there are 2 more winter recipes for this famous dessert: and.
