Equipment

  • Small Bowl
  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Fine sieve
  • Large measuring cup or bowl
  • Ramekins or serving glasses
  • Knife
  • Small saucepan

Ingredients
 
 

Panna Cotta

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp unflavored gelatin
  • 3 tbsp water (for blooming gelatin)

Balsamic Berry Compote

  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer, but do not let it boil.
  • Once the milk mixture is hot, remove from the heat. Add the honey, ricotta cheese, and vanilla extract, stirring until the honey is fully dissolved. Add the bloomed gelatin and whisk until it is completely melted and evenly distributed.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any lumps. Pour the mixture into four ramekins or serving glasses.
  • Let the panna cotta cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat until the berries begin to break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. The compote will thicken further as it cools.
  • Once the panna cotta is fully set, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto a plate, or serve directly in the glasses.
  • Generously spoon the balsamic berry compote over each panna cotta. Decorate with fresh mint leaves.

Pairing Suggestions

Special Tip

For a smoother and creamier panna cotta, blend the ricotta cheese with the warm milk mixture using an immersion blender, which helps to fully incorporate the ricotta and create an ultra-smooth texture.
