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.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 4 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
  3. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and stir until completely dissolved. Then, stir in the cooled espresso, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup to remove any lumps or undissolved gelatin.
  5. Pour the strained mixture evenly into six ramekins or dessert glasses.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it gently against the surface, and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight, until set.
  7. Optional: Once set, garnish with cocoa powder, sea salt flakes, caramel sauce, or fresh berries. Serve chilled.

Notes

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.
