Panna Cotta with Agar Agar Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons agar agar powder
• Fresh berries, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, combine heavy cream and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves.
2. Add vanilla extract and agar agar powder to the saucepan. Whisk to combine and bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until agar agar dissolves completely and mixture thickens slightly.
4. Remove from heat and carefully pour mixture into ramekins or other serving dishes. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set, at least 2-3 hours or overnight.
5. When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of each dish and gently invert onto a plate. Garnish with fresh berries and serve immediately.

Verdict:

This panna cotta recipe with agar agar is a perfect dessert for any occasion. It’s creamy, smooth, and has a light texture that melts in your mouth. The agar agar gives the panna cotta a firmer consistency and allows it to set without the use of gelatin. The fresh berries on top add a burst of flavor and make for a beautiful presentation.

Serving Suggestions:
