Ingredients
- 1 (.25-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 vanilla beans, split and scraped
- Pinch kosher salt
- 2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
Instructions
- Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla pods, vanilla seeds and pinch of salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar and avoid scorching the milk. Reduce the heat and add the gelatin and buttermilk. Strain through a fine sieve, removing the vanilla pods and any milk solids.
- Pour mixture into 8 small ramekins and let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Transfer to fridge and chill for 3 hours. To serve, briefly dip the bottoms of the ramekins in warm water and invert onto dessert plates.
- BYOC: Top with your favorite fresh berries when in season. If you have the time, try and make a creamy caramel sauce by using sugar, water and half-and-half. Be creative and swipe the plate in a creative pattern. Let your inner artist come out.

Reviews
Taste is great but I also had the gelatin separate out. There was too much gelatin possible a smaller amount would work better. The clear topping was a bit gross looking (aspic!!) but I scraped it off mine and others ate it.
The recipe was a huge hit at the dinner party today. I dressed it with a blueberry and raspberry reduction sauce and garnished with mint. My only question was how to keep the consistency throughout the desert. The gelatin separated from the heavier cream area when it set. So there was a clear film. It still tasted delicious though…any thoughts?
Fab!!!! Made mine with fat free half and half and top it with lemon zest and fresh blueberries……..Claire you’re the BEST!!! Thanks!!
This was so easy & tasty. Served with berrys with lemoncello over it . It really impressed my friends.
Especially that it was lighter than most panna cottas.
