Stuff to know
Make sure the gelatine is fully rehydrated in cold water before using it.
Don’t add the soaked gelatine the a boiling liquid since it will loose its setting capacity. Gelatine will set when its temperature falls below 25°C.
Allow the panna coatta at least 8 hours to fully set.
Panna cotta is Italian for cooked cream. A panna cotta is made by boiling cream with a flavour, to which gelatine is added to make it set. In this recipe, milk is used instead.
