Description
A delicate and creamy panna cotta infused with fragrant Earl Grey tea, perfect for an elegant dessert.
Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 Earl Grey tea bags or 2 tsp loose leaf Earl Grey tea
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
3 tbsp cold water
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Fresh berries or whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove from heat, add Earl Grey tea, and let steep for 5–7 minutes depending on desired strength.
4. Strain out the tea and return the mixture to the saucepan. Rewarm gently if it has cooled too much.
5. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
6. Pour the mixture into ramekins or serving glasses. Let cool slightly before covering and refrigerating.
7. Chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
8. To serve, unmold by dipping the ramekins briefly in warm water or serve directly in the glasses. Garnish as desired.
Notes
You can substitute part of the heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
Adjust the steeping time based on the strength of your Earl Grey blend—longer steeping will result in a stronger tea flavor.
Panna cotta can be made 1–2 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
