Servings: 4 people
Calories: 249kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream 35%
- 1 tablespoon unflavoured gelatin (one envelope)
- ¼-1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (depending on how sweet you'd like it)
- 1 ½ tablespoon loose leaf Earl Grey tea
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, pour ½ cup of the whole milk. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Let sit undisturbed for 5 minutes, allowing the gelatin to bloom.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot but not simmering.
- Pour the hot milk mixture through a strainer into the large bowl with the gelatin and milk mixture. Whisk well until the gelatin is dissolved.
- Divide the mixture evenly into your tea cups, ramekins or small dessert bowls. My recipe filled 4 tea cups.
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on top of the panna cotta.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours and preferably overnight.
- And that's it! Your delicious Earl Grey Panna Cotta is ready to be enjoyed. Serve as is or add a little garnish such as fruit, an edible flower or a sprinkle of Earl Grey tea.
Notes
- Bloom the gelatin properly by letting it sit undisturbed on the liquid for at least five minutes.
- Don't let your mixture come to a boil. Heat until hot but not boiling or simmering. Boiling can break down the gelatin and your panna cotta may not set.
- For a silky smooth texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
- Allow at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow the panna cotta time to set.
