A creamy vanilla gelatin-based dessert that is easy, quick, and very tasty. Make the berry sauce an hour before serving. Ingredients:
for the panna cottas |
2 teaspoons plain gelatin |
1/4 cup cold water |
3 cups cream |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted |
1 (1 1/2-inch-long) vanilla bean, split lengthwise |
for the berry sauce |
1 (10 ounce) bag frozen mixed berries, thawed |
2 tablespoons superfine sugar |
2 tablespoons brandy |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, soften gelatin in cold water; set aside. Place cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla bean in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a simmer. Simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and discard the vanilla bean.
2. Add gelatin and water to the hot cream mixture. Stir until gelatin dissolves. Pour into 6 lightly oiled 1/2-cup dariole molds (or other small cylindrical molds) and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours.
3. To make the berry sauce, combine berries and sugar in a bowl. Crush berries slightly with the back of a spoon, and mix in the brandy. Let stand for an hour until it has a syrupy consistency.
4. Unmold panna cottas and serve with berry sauce.
