Print Recipe

A delicate and elegant panna cotta infused with floral rose water and fragrant vanilla bean, offering a silky smooth texture and subtle sweetness perfect for special occasions or a quiet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (10 g) gelatin powder
  • 1 whole vanilla bean, split and scraped
  • 1 teaspoon rose water
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) cold water
  • Optional garnish: fresh rose petals, crushed pistachios, or fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (10 g) of gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, and 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the cream mixture. Add the pod as well.
  3. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally to dissolve sugar. Heat until just before simmering, about 5-7 minutes, avoiding boiling.
  4. Remove from heat and let the vanilla bean pod steep for 10 minutes to infuse flavor.
  5. Remove and discard the vanilla pod.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon of rose water. Adjust to taste carefully, adding more if desired but sparingly.
  7. Warm the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or gently over a double boiler until melted (do not boil). Whisk the melted gelatin into the warm cream mixture thoroughly.
  8. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl or large measuring cup for a silky texture.
  9. Pour the mixture evenly into 6 ramekins or small jars, leaving space for garnish.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set but still slightly wobbly.

Notes

Do not boil the cream mixture to avoid curdling or gelatin losing its setting power. Bloom gelatin fully before melting. Strain the mixture for the smoothest texture. Add rose water sparingly to prevent overpowering. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. For a vegetarian version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar following package instructions.
