Classic Panna Cottas! :)

Panna Cotta literally translates to cooked cream, in Italian. Well, I don't think this dessert needs any further introduction. The versatility of the dessert lies in the fact that Panna Cottas can have myriad flavours. From more classic flavors like the vanilla and lemon Panna Cotta in the picture, one can make a Nutella or a Saffron Panna Cotta. I served mine with Cherry and Grape Compote. Unfortunately, I was too excited to remove them from their moulds, properly. The Picture below shows your average Panna Cotta in all its glory. ^_^ 

Ingredients 

1) 1/2 cup Milk
2) 1 cup Fresh Cream
3) 1/4 cup castor sugar
4) 3 tsp Gelatin Powder
5) 1/2 tsp Vanilla essence/ Lemon rind from a lemon.

Recipe 

1) Pour the milk in a pan. Sprinkle the Gelatin powder over it. Let it rest for 5 mins until the top of the milk shrivels a little.
2) Start heating the pan over medium heat. Stir until the Gelatin dissolves. Do not boil or let the milk simmer.
3) When the gelatin dissolves, add the sugar and cream. Keep stirring and mix well. Remove before it simmers and pour into two different places. Add the vanilla essence in one and lemon rind in another. Divide the mixture into greased ramekins or any other small containers. Refrigerate overnight for the best result. Remove from the mould after keeping it outside for at least half an hour. Serve chilled!
