How to Make Simplest Panna Cotta Ever

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, gently heat the milk until warm (do not boil).
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  5. Pour the mixture into an 11x7 inch rectangular Pyrex dish or individual serving ramekins.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
  7. While the panna cotta is chilling, prepare the caramel topping: Combine 1/4 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves and turns into a light amber caramel. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. Once the panna cotta is set, carefully pour the cooled caramel sauce over the top.
  9. Garnish with chopped walnuts and a drizzle of honey, if desired.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy!
