Use Quality Gelatin: Ensure the gelatin is fresh and fully dissolved to avoid lumps.
Temperature Matters: Let the panna cotta cool slightly before pouring into molds to prevent separation.
Chill Thoroughly: For the best texture, allow plenty of time for the panna cotta to set in the refrigerator.
Variations
Dairy-Free Option: Substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut milk or almond milk, and use agar-agar instead of gelatin.
Flavor Boost: Infuse the cream mixture with citrus zest or herbs like lavender or basil for a unique twist.
Layered Look: Create layers by chilling the panna cotta in stages and adding the berry sauce in between.
