This Coffee Panna Cotta is a silky and creamy Italian dessert infused with the rich flavor of espresso. It’s a no-bake treat that’s perfect for coffee lovers.
Bloom Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Prepare Panna Cotta Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, and espresso powder. Heat until sugar dissolves and mixture is steaming, but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
Chill: Pour the mixture into ramekins or serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and almond milk.
Adjust espresso strength based on preference.
Panna cotta can be unmolded or served directly in glasses.
