Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups milk
1 vanilla bean, split, and seeds scraped
Zest of 8 lemons
1/2 cup sugar
3 1/2 sheets gelatin (scant 1/2 ounce) or 2 1/2 teaspoons gelatin granules

Steps:

  • Put cream, one cup milk, vanilla bean halves and seeds, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat, and allow to steep for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Strain lemon mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, and return to saucepan. Add sugar. Bring just to a boil over medium heat. Lower heat, and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves.
  • If using sheet gelatin, snap sheets in half, and place in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. Gently heat remaining 1/4 cup milk in a small pan. Squeeze moisture out of gelatin, and stir into warm milk one sheet at a time, until gelatin is thoroughly dissolved. If using granules, sprinkle on top of the 1/4 cup milk in a small skillet, and let stand for 2 minutes. Gently heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes, until gelatin dissolves.
  • Stir gelatin into hot lemon cream. Place saucepan in a bowl of ice water, and stir constantly for 5 minutes, to make sure gelatin is evenly distributed.
  • Pour mixture into shallow bowls, ramekins or custard cups. Refrigerate, uncovered, until just firm, about 2 to 3 hours. Best served within 24 hours.

I had some trouble getting the panna cotta to set properly, but I think that was my fault. Overall, this is a great recipe and I'll definitely be making it again.

This was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great recipe.
