Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 teaspoons gelatin
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare Gelatin Mixture:

   • Sprinkle gelatin over the cold water in a small saucepan.
   • Allow it to sit for a few minutes to bloom.

2. Heat Gelatin and Cream:

   • Place the saucepan over low heat, combining the gelatin mixture with heavy cream.
   • Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until just warm, ensuring no granules of sugar remain between the fingertips.

3. Cool the Mixture:

   • Avoid cooking the mixture; simply dissolve the ingredients.
   • Let the mixture cool down.

4. Add Sour Cream:

   • Gradually incorporate 1/4 cup of dairy sour cream into the mixture, ensuring it’s added a little at a time.
   • This step imparts an authentic tart taste reminiscent of Italy.
   • Adjust the amount of sour cream according to your preference or omit it entirely if desired.

5. Pour and Set:

   • Pour the creamy mixture into custard dishes.
   • Refrigerate until firm, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the chilled Panna Cotta with fresh strawberries or peaches.
   • For an extra touch of sophistication, drizzle reduced balsamic vinegar over the fruit to create a thick syrup.
   • Alternatively, savor the Panna Cotta plain for a delightful treat on its own.
