Check out the Savour the Flavour Show on YouTube when I made various flavours.

If ever there was a dessert to rival my love affair with cheesecakes, it is the Panna Cotta! A few years ago, I went through a let’s try this & let’s try that stage with panna cotta, resulting in a notebook full of a myriad of flavours! I shall endeavour to get those recipes photographed and uploaded at some point! This is the plain old but delectable vanilla version!

One of the best things about serving this at a party is that you make everything the day before!

My favourite way to serve a vanilla panna cotta is with some stewed fruit, or coulis, either raspberry or strawberry.

On a side note, to me, warm panna cotta tastes just like homemade custard, and that’s how my girls have custard as they’re allergic to eggs.

You might also be interested in a similar recipe to this, just served differently, here.

Shall we get our aprons on?

Ingredients

  • 400 ml double cream
  • 400 ml mascarpone
  • 2 tsp gelatine powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 120 g caster sugar
  • stewed strawberries /coulis /fresh berries to serve

Instructions

  • Pour 150ml of the double cream in a wide, shallow dish and scatter the gelatine all over and leave to soak for 15 minutes.
  • Combine the rest of the cream and sugar in a saucepan and heat gently and bring to boil. Keep an eye on it as it will suddenly rush up!
  • Take off the heat and add the soaked gelatine and stir.
  • Add the mascarpone and vanilla paste and whisk the whole mixture for about a minute to combine thoroughly.
  • You should get a smooth mixture just like homemade custard. Strain if necessary but I don't think you'll need to.
  • Pour the mixture into your chosen moulds and place in the fridge overnight to set.
  • Serve with some stewed fruit.

  1. I love panna cotta and these are just beautiful. 🙂 I love the red and white color contrasting each other. i made something similar, with a natural sweetener but don’t have mascarpone in them. They were good so I’m sure these are wonderful and delicious! I love mascarpone!

  2. great dinner party idea! so pretty and a crowd pleaser for sure. but i do love me some cheesecake… hard to choose! both? YES. 🙂

  3. Very nice and am loving it. Thanks for the recipe and one which I must try. I probably will top up with our local fruits yet with the same cream base just like yours.

  4. I love panna cotta and like the idea of using mascarpone…looks so elegant the way you are featuring these treats. Love it.
    Hope you are having a wonderful week Lin 🙂

  5. Wow! These little pots look amazingly delectable! I love panna cotta but I never tried it with mascarpone in it. I’ll have a go at your recipe and surely I’ll love the result. 🙂
