Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Macerated Berries
Ingredients
- PANNA COTTA
- 3 teaspoons gelatin
- 3 1/2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- Dash of salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- MACERATED BERRIES
- 1/2 pint fresh strawberries
- 1/2 pint fresh blueberries or blackberries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup strawberry or berry fruit spread
Instructions
- Spray a 3-1/2- to 4-cup gelatin mold with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand, without stirring, for 3 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine cream, milk, sugar, vanilla bean, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and pour over gelatin-water mixture. Stir well to dissolve gelatin. Let mixture cool to room temperature.
- Remove vanilla bean and add buttermilk, stirring to mix. Strain mixture through a very fine sieve and pour into prepared mold. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours.
