This cinnamon panna cotta is a jazzed-up version of classic panna cotta with the delicious flavors of cinnamon and vanilla and a crunchy biscotti topping. This easy Italian dessert is light, really easy to make, and a delicious twist on a classic.

Equipment

  • 8 small containers containers that hold about 4-5 ounces

Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Panna Cotta

  • 2 ½ cups Whole Milk
  • 1 ½ cup Heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin (or 4 sheets of gelatin.)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 4 Italian biscotti crushed

Instructions
 

  • Place the water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Stir to distribute, and set aside to soften 2 to 3 minutes.
    2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
  • Get out your dishes that you will be pouring the panna cotta in and set aside.
  • Half-fill a large bowl with ice and add enough water to make an ice bath and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the milk, cream cinnamon and sugar and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
    2 ½ cups Whole Milk, 1 ½ cup Heavy cream, ⅓ cup Granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • Turn off the heat, and whisk in the softened gelatin and the vanilla extract.
    ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Mix until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This may take a couple minutes.
  • Once the gelatin is dissolved, set the saucepan in the ice bath (making sure the top of the saucepan is well above the surface of the water), and whisk until the mixture is lukewarm.
  • Pour mixture into ramekins and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. If you’re going to keep them longer than overnight, cover them with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap gently against the panna cotta to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Serving: sprinkle crushed biscotti over the top of the panna cotta.
    4 Italian biscotti
