Panna Cotta
Prepare the Gelatin:In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom and soften.
Heat the Cream Mixture:In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling. Remove from hea
Add Gelatin and Vanilla:Stir the softened gelatin into the warm cream mixture until fully dissolved. Add the vanilla extract and whisk gently to combine.
Strain and Pour:Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl to remove any undissolved particles. Pour the strained mixture evenly into two ramekins or dessert cups.
Chill:Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Berry Compote
Cook the Berries:In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes.
Cool and Serve:Let the berry compote cool to room temperature. Once the panna cotta has set, spoon the berry compote over each dessert just before serving.
