HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of powdered gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

02

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of whole milk, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.

03

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and stir until it is completely dissolved, about 1 minute.

04

Stir in 2 tablespoons of yuzu juice and 1/2 teaspoon of yuzu zest into the mixture.

05

Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly among 4 small ramekins or dessert glasses.

06

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the panna cotta is set and firm to the touch.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with fresh berries or a thin slice of candied yuzu peel before serving. Ensure the cream mixture does not boil to prevent the gelatin from losing its setting power.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If yuzu juice is unavailable, you can substitute with a mix of 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon lime juice for a similar citrusy tang, though the flavor profile will be slightly different. Agar-agar can be used as a vegan alternative to gelatin; follow package instructions for equivalent setting power.
