Ingredients

Custard Cream
01
1 cup heavy cream
02
1 cup whole milk
03
1/2 cup granulated sugar
04
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05
2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
06
3 tablespoons cold water
07
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
08
For the salted caramel sauce:
09
1/2 cup granulated sugar
10
1/4 cup unsalted butter
11
1/4 cup heavy cream
12
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

01
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
02
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
03
Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream mixture and stir until completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
04
Pour the mixture into serving glasses or molds and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
05
While the panna cotta sets, make the salted caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar turns a deep amber color.
06
Add the butter to the melted sugar, stirring constantly. Once the butter has melted, slowly add the heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Be careful as the mixture may bubble up.
07
Stir in the sea salt and remove from heat. Let the caramel sauce cool to room temperature.
08
Once the panna cotta is set, drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top of each serving.
09
Serve chilled, garnished with extra sea salt if desired.
