Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tbsp gelatin over 2 tbsp cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes until spongy.

  2. Step 2

    In a saucepan, heat 2 cups heavy cream and 1/4 cup sugar over medium, stirring, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from heat, stir in 1 tsp vanilla and the softened gelatin until completely dissolved. Pour into 4 ramekins or glasses. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, blend 1 cup strawberries with 1 tbsp sugar (if desired) until smooth. Strain if you prefer a seedless sauce.

  5. Step 5

    To serve, spoon strawberry sauce over each panna cotta and serve with a biscuit on the side.
