Ingredients

  • 1 cup full cream milk

  • 2,5 teaspoons gelatin

  • 2 cups cream

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

  • a pinch of salt

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • For the berry coulis:
  • 2 cups fresh berries of your choice (I used strawberries and raspberries)

  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/2 cup lemon juice

Directions

  • Place the milk in a pot and sprinkle over the gelatin. Allow to stand for about 5 minutes or until the gelatin has softened. Place the pot on the stove and heat over moderate heat until the gelatin has dissolved and the milk is steaming (NOT boiling). This process shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes.
  • Add the cream, sugar, vanilla and salt and keep stirring for another 5 minutes until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once again, be careful not to boil the mixture. Remove from the heat and allow to stand for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the sour cream into a big jug. Whilst whisking continuously, add the warm cream mixture to the sour cream. As soon as it’s completely smooth, divide the mixture into six ramekins. Place in the fridge until completely set (best if you can leave it overnight).
  • To make the berry coulis, place 1 cup of the berries, the sugar and lemon juice in a small pot and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes or until syrupy.
  • Stir in the other cup of berries and remove from the heat. Allow to cool to room temperature and spoon over the ice cold panna cottas. Serve immediately.
