Buttermilk Panna Cotta Recipe
- Vegetable oil, for coating the ramekins
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 (1/4-ounce) packet unflavored gelatin
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
- Brush 6 (6-ounce) ramekins with a thin layer of vegetable oil; set them aside.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large measuring cup with a spout or a large bowl and set it aside.
- Place the cream in a medium saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface.
- Let stand undisturbed until the gelatin has softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the sugar and vanilla seeds and stir to combine.
- Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly and scraping down the sides of the pan as needed with a rubber spatula, until the gelatin and sugar have dissolved and the mixture no longer feels grainy when rubbed between your fingers, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- (Do not let the mixture simmer or the gelatin wont set properly.)
- Pour the mixture into the prepared strainer and discard the contents of the strainer.
- Stir in the buttermilk until combined and immediately divide the mixture among the prepared ramekins.
- Lightly press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of each panna cotta to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
- To serve, remove the ramekins from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Carefully run a knife around the perimeter of each panna cotta, cover it with a serving plate, and flip to unmold, using the knife to gently nudge the panna cotta out of the ramekin if necessary.
- Serve immediately.
