Panna Cotta

Panna Cotta

2 c. heavy cream

1 c. whole milk

1/2 c. sugar

1 1/2 packets knox unflavored gelatin

1 - 2 lb fresh strawberries

1/4 c. sugar

3 Tbsp clear gel

Sprinkle the gelatin over the milk, stir, and let stand for 5 minutes. 

Heat the cream and sugar until simmering but not boiling. Stir in the milk and gelatin mixture. Cook, stirring, for 2 - 3 minutes. Just enough to melt the gelatin.

Pour into molds or pretty glass dishes and chill.

Slice strawberries, toss with sugar and let sit for 1 hour. Stir in the clear gel and wait 20 minutes before serving.

When ready to serve run the bottom of the mold under hot water and invert on a plate or serve in glass dishes.
