Cream and sugar warmed with a vanilla bean and set with gelatin into silky panna cotta. Serve with berries.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 vanilla bean split lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • Mixed berries
  • Satin chocolate sauce (below)

Satin chocolate sauce

  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 4 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup hot water

Directions

  • Put the water and gelatin in a small bowl and let them soak for about 10 minutes, without stirring.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the cream, vanilla bean, and sugar until simmering, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin until it dissolves; if it has not dissolved after 3 minutes, warm it gently.
  • Pour into 6 to 8 ramekins or dessert cups and chill, uncovered, for 2 hours.
  • Sauce: Melt both chocolates in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring constantly, then whisk in the corn syrup and hot water until smooth and glossy.
  • Serve in the cups, or dip the cups in hot water for 10 seconds and turn the panna cotta out onto plates. Arrange berries around it and add the sauce.
