Ingredients

  • 300 ml – 10 fl oz heavy cream
  • 100 ml – 3.5 fl oz milk
  • 80 g – 2.8 oz sugar
  • 3 gelatine sheets – 6 g – 0.2 oz or 2 tsp gelatine powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 passion fruits
  • icing sugar – depending on the sweetness of the passion fruit

Instructions

  1. Put the milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla in a pot and heat over low heat, stirring gently until the sugar melts.

  2. Soak the gelatine sheets in cold water for 10 minutes. Add them to the hot cream mixture and stir until the gelatine dissolves completely.
  3. Wet 4 moulds with water, then pour the gelatine mixture into the moulds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for a firmer set.

    Note: Wetting the moulds helps the panna cotta slide out more easily when unmoulding.

  4. When ready to serve, unmould the panna cotta.
  5. Mix the pulp of the passion fruit with some icing sugar to taste and use the coulis to top the panna cotta.
  6. Serve immediately.
