Gelatin Bloom
Properly blooming the gelatin is crucial. Use cold water and allow it to soften completely before adding it to the warm cream mixture to avoid lumps.
Gentle Heating
Heat the cream, sugar, and vanilla (or other flavorings) gently over low heat, stirring constantly. Avoid boiling, as this can affect the texture.
Perfect Wobble
The Panna Cotta should be set but still have a slight wobble. This indicates the gelatin is properly set but the dessert hasn't become rubbery. Adjust the amount of gelatin based on your preference for firmness.
Berry Sauce Freshness
The flavor is better when using fresh berries if you have them at hand. frozen berries also work perfectly though. Try to add a touch of lemon juice to add some acidity.
