How to Make Buttermilk Panna Cotta With Sweetened Strawberries

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place six 3/4-cup custard cups on a small baking sheet.
  2. In a heavy small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and boil without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally and brushing down the sides with a wet pastry brush, until the syrup turns a deep amber color (about 8 minutes).
  4. Immediately pour the caramel into the custard cups, dividing it equally. Tilt the cups to coat the bottoms evenly.
  5. Let the caramel cool and set completely.
  6. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 packet (about 1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream. Let stand until softened, about 10 minutes.
  7. In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the remaining 6 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream. Scrape in the seeds from 1 vanilla bean and add the bean pod.
  8. Bring the cream mixture just to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  9. Add the softened gelatin mixture to the warm cream and whisk until the gelatin dissolves completely.
  10. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a 4-cup glass measuring cup. Whisk in 1 cup buttermilk.
  11. Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly among the caramel-lined custard cups.
  12. Refrigerate the panna cotta, uncovered, for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  13. In a large bowl, toss 1 pint hulled and sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar. Let stand for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
  14. To unmold the panna cotta, run a small knife around the edge of each custard cup. Invert onto plates.
  15. Using a rubber spatula, scrape any remaining caramel from the bottom of the cups over the panna cotta.
  16. Spoon the sweetened strawberries alongside the panna cotta and serve immediately.
