Indulge in the creamy elegance of Buttermilk Panna Cotta, a luscious Italian-inspired dessert that beautifully balances tangy buttermilk with velvety heavy cream. This no-bake treat is delicately infused with aromatic vanilla and sweetened to perfection, making it an effortless yet sophisticated option for any occasion. Prepared in just 15 minutes with a simple gelatin base, it sets into a smooth, lightly jiggly texture that melts in your mouth. Serve it chilled with a topping of fresh fruit, vibrant fruit puree, or a drizzle of honey for a stunning finish that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious. Perfect for dinner parties or a romantic date night, this buttermilk panna cotta is a delightful way to end any meal.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the cream is hot but not boiling. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until it is fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk, whisking until smooth.
Divide the mixture evenly among 6 ramekins or serving glasses, leaving some room at the top for potential toppings.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set. The panna cotta should be firm yet jiggly when gently shaken.
To serve, optionally top with fresh fruit, fruit puree, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness and presentation.
