Brown Sugar and Espresso Panna Cotta is a luxurious dessert with a creamy base flavored with brown sugar and espresso, topped with optional garnishes like caramel sauce or fresh berries for a refined and indulgent treat.
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
½ cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
¼ cup freshly brewed espresso, cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional toppings: cocoa powder, sea salt flakes, caramel sauce, fresh berries
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor, especially with the cream, milk, and brown sugar.
Bloom the gelatin correctly to ensure a smooth texture.
Straining the mixture removes any undissolved gelatin or lumps for a silky finish.
Chill the panna cotta for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for the best consistency.
