Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 packet Unflavored gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 0.25 cup Freshly brewed espresso
• 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes until softened.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.

Step 3

Once the mixture is warm, remove it from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it completely dissolves. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a clean container with a pouring spout to make it easier to handle.

Step 5

Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a separate small container or a cup with a pouring spout.

Step 6

Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly among 6 serving glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Using a small spoon or a chopstick, drizzle the espresso into each glass. Slowly swirl or gently stir to create a marbled effect, being careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Transfer the glasses to the refrigerator and let the panna cotta set for at least 4-6 hours (or overnight) until firm.

Step 9

Before serving, optionally dust with unsweetened cocoa powder or garnish with a chocolate-covered espresso bean for an elegant touch.
