Dulce de Leche Panna Cotta

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

   Tip: Be careful not to let the mixture boil.

2. 2

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dulce de leche, vanilla extract, and salt. Let it cool slightly.

   Tip: The dulce de leche will help to flavor the panna cotta.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 50ml of cold water and let it soften for 5 minutes.

   Tip: This will help to prevent the gelatin from lumps.

4. 4

   Add the softened gelatin to the saucepan with the cream mixture and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

   Tip: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.

5. 5

   Pour the mixture into small individual serving cups or ramekins.

   Tip: Make sure the cups are clean and dry.

6. 6

   Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours or overnight until it is set.

   Tip: You can also sprinkle some confectioner's sugar on top before serving.

7. 7

   Just before serving, sprinkle some cocoa powder on top of the panna cotta.

   Tip: This will add a nice textural element and flavor contrast.
