Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★★
Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Heavy cream
- Sugar
- Plain yogurt
- Gelatin sheets
- Fine-mesh sieve
Preparation
Before starting, decide how many servings you wish to make. One batch yields enough for 3 to 6 people.
Per serving:
- Heavy cream: 200g
- Sugar: 40g
- Plain yogurt: 250g
- Gelatin sheets: 6g
Instructions
- Cut the gelatin sheets into small pieces and soak them in cold water.
- Place the heavy cream and sugar in a saucepan and heat to 60°C (140°F).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Take the gelatin out of the water, squeeze out excess moisture, and add it to the warm cream. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Allow the cream mixture to cool to 40°C (104°F), then stir in the plain yogurt until well combined.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve twice to ensure smoothness.
- Divide the mixture into suitable containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Additional Notes
- Traditional panna cotta is made solely with heavy cream and contains more sugar, resulting in a richer, sweeter taste. This modified version is lighter and less sweet, making it easier to enjoy.
