Caramel Panna Cotta with Luscious Raspberry Drizzle

• In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes (the gelatin will absorb the water and become soft).
• In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm (but not boiling).
• Once the cream mixture is warm, remove it from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it’s completely dissolved.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and caramel sauce. Mix well until smooth.
• Pour the panna cotta mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins.
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.

2. Make the Raspberry Drizzle:

• In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and cook until the raspberries break down and release their juices (about 5 minutes).
• If you want a smoother drizzle, you can use a blender or food processor to puree the mixture, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
• If you prefer a thicker drizzle, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry and add it to the raspberry sauce. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until it thickens.
• Let the raspberry sauce cool before using.

3. Assemble the Caramel Panna Cotta:

• Once the panna cotta has fully set, drizzle the luscious raspberry sauce over the top of each panna cotta.
• For added elegance, garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint.

4. Serve:

• Serve the caramel panna cotta chilled and enjoy the creamy, dreamy texture with the vibrant, tart raspberry drizzle. It’s a perfect balance of sweetness and tang!
