Buttermilk Panna Cotta

Discover the sophisticated yet surprisingly simple elegance of Buttermilk Panna Cotta, a creamy dessert with a tangy twist that stands out from the usual sweet-milk offerings. This delightful panna cotta features the rich, silky texture of cream combined with the unique tang of buttermilk, making it a refreshing treat that is both slightly sweet and wonderfully light. Perfect for any occasion, this dessert pairs beautifully with a luscious strawberry-pomegranate coulis or a dollop of fresh whipped cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Mixture: Begin by pouring the heavy cream into a small saucepan. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, stirring gently to combine. Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture until it reaches approximately 140°F (60°C). This allows the vanilla to infuse the cream and ensures that the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. Dissolve the Gelatin: While the cream mixture is warming, dissolve the powdered gelatin in 1/4 cup of room-temperature water. Stir the gelatin mixture until it is fully hydrated and no lumps remain.

  3. Combine the Cream and Gelatin: Once the cream mixture is sufficiently warm, remove it from the heat. Pour the warm cream mixture over the dissolved gelatin in the bowl. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved and integrated into the cream.

  4. Incorporate the Buttermilk: Gradually add the buttermilk to the cream-gelatin mixture, stirring gently until fully combined. This step introduces a delightful tanginess to the panna cotta while maintaining a smooth texture.

  5. Chill and Set: Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly among eight ramekins or serving dishes. Place the ramekins in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the panna cotta is fully set and has a firm, wobbly texture.

  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve the panna cotta with your choice of topping. A drizzle of strawberry-pomegranate coulis or a spoonful of freshly whipped cream will complement the tangy sweetness of the buttermilk panna cotta beautifully.
