Chef John's Buttermilk Panna Cotta
Chef John
"This is so perfect in the summer, and not just because it's easy and refreshing. All that amazing seasonal fruit gives you the perfect reason…excuse…to make these easy treats. If you start your panna cotta the day before you want to eat it, this classic Italian recipe is about as simple as it gets."

Prep
-
Ready In
- Sprinkle gelatin over cold water; stir and let sit 5 or 10 minutes until it thickens and becomes rubbery.
- Pour heavy cream into a saucepan. Whisk in sugar. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture just barely starts to simmer, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemon peel as mixture is coming up to temperature. As small bubbles begin to appear here and there, remove pan from heat. Add tiny pinch of salt, vanilla, and bloomed gelatin. Whisk until gelatin melts into the cream mixture. Add buttermilk and lemon juice; whisk until blended.
- Strain through fine sieve to remove zest and any lumps. Pour into serving dishes or ramekins. Allow to cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 5 hours or, ideally, overnight.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Keep the same basic gelatin to creamy liquid ratio and you can flavor this any way you want-scented with Earl Grey tea or cardamom-feel free to play around.

This looks intimidating, but it really is easy - and delicious. Of course. I've probably made about twenty Chef John recipes and every single one is amazing.

Awesome! First try I used the suggested amount of sugar and for the 2nd try I used about 1/3 cup sugar. Both were great. For flavouring , I used the lemon peel, vanilla but also cardamom. Wonde...

This is a great, simple recipe! I stuck it in the fridge at 4:00 PM and it was ready to serve at 6:30. My wife loved it because it wasn't overly sweet, which she hates. I followed Chef John's...
