Panna Cotta con Fragole
Chef Salvatore of Capri Palaze takes traditional panna cotta, cooked milk and sugar, then transforms it into a work of art by adding fresh strawberries and golden berries. Although this creamy dessert is originally from Piedmont, it’s now served throughout Italy.

Instructions

For the Panna Cotta:
Heat the cream with the confectioners’ sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Soften the gelatin sheets in a little cold water with ice cubes. After a couple of minutes, remove softened gelatin sheets and press into a sieve to remove extra water. Add the gelatin to the warm cream and stir to dissolve. Pour the cream into individual panna-cotta molds and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours

For the Strawberry Purée
Purée the strawberries in a blender. Place them in a saucepan, add the sugar and place over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Soften the gelatin sheet in a little cold water with ice cubes. After a couple of minutes, remove softened gelatin and squeeze to remove any extra water. Add the gelatin to the strawberry sauce and stir until the sauce has thickened. Leave to cool.
