Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cold brew coffee
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Heat Cream and Sugar: In a saucepan over low heat, gently warm the heavy cream and sugar, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
- Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water in a separate bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Combine Mixtures: Slowly stir the bloomed gelatin and cold brew coffee into the warm cream mixture, continuously stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth without lumps.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the panna cotta mixture evenly into ramekins or molds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until the panna cotta is firmly set.
- Unmold and Serve: To unmold, briefly dip the bottoms of the ramekins in warm water to loosen the dessert, then invert onto serving plates and enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the cream mixture does not boil, as boiling can affect the texture of the panna cotta.
- You can substitute cold brew coffee with strong brewed espresso or coffee concentrate for a different coffee intensity.
- For a decorative touch, top with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
- If gelatin is unavailable, vegetarian gelatin alternatives can be used, but follow packaging instructions accordingly.
- This dessert can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
