Ingredients
  

For the Panna Cotta:

  • 2 cups 500ml heavy cream
  • cup 60g sugar
  • 2 gelatin sheets or 1 tsp powdered gelatin
  • 1 tbsp pistachio paste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cherry Coulis:

  • 1 cup 200g pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
  • ¼ cup 50g sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Panna Cotta

  • Soak the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to soften them.
  • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add the pistachio paste and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and well combined.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat, squeeze excess water from the gelatin sheets, and stir them into the hot cream mixture until fully dissolved.
  • Pour the mixture into ramekins or silicone molds.
  • Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 2: Make the Cherry Coulis

  • In a saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
  • Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are soft and release their juices.
  • Blend the mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve for a silky texture.
  • Let the coulis cool before using.

Step 3: Assembly and Serving

  • Remove the panna cotta from the refrigerator. If using silicone molds, carefully unmold them onto serving plates.
  • Drizzle cherry coulis over each panna cotta.
  • Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for extra crunch.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy!
