Method

  1. 1

    Submerge the gelatine sheets in cold water to soften.

  2. 2

    Measure the milk, half of the cream, and the sugar into a saucepan.

  3. 3

    Cut the vanilla pods in half and scrape the seeds into the saucepan with a knife. Add the pods as well. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes, but do not boil vigorously. Remove from the heat and discard the pods.

  4. 4

    Squeeze the excess water from the gelatine sheets. Dissolve them into the hot cream mixture. Stir.

  5. 5

    Pour in the remaining cream.

  6. 6

    Portion into small dessert bowls or cups. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours. The panna cotta should remain delightfully wobbly.

  7. 7

    If desired, prepare the currant puree. Thaw the currants and puree them with a handheld blender together with the sugar. Strain the mixture. Serve the panna cotta with the pureed berry sauce and fresh berries, if desired.
