Show: Barefoot Contessa


Episode: Shore Thing























1/2 packet (1 teaspoon) unflavored gelatin powder


1 1/2 tablespoons cold water


1 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided


1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt


1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


1/2 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped


1/3 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon


2 pints (4 cups) sliced fresh strawberries


2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar


1 tablespoon sugar


1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Freshly grated lemon zest, for serving





In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin on 1 1/2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to dissolve.


Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of the cream, the yogurt, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds. Heat the remaining 3/4 cup of cream and the 1/3 cup of sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Off the heat, add the softened gelatin to the hot cream and stir to dissolve. Pour the hot cream-gelatin mixture into the cold cream-yogurt mixture and stir to combine. Pour into 4 (6 to 8-ounce) ramekins or custard cups and refrigerate uncovered until cold. When the panna cottas are thoroughly chilled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.





Combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and pepper 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Set aside at room temperature.





To serve, run a small knife around each dessert in the ramkein and dip the bottom of each ramekin quickly in a bowl of hot tap water. Invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate and surround the panna cotta with strawberries. Dust lightly with freshly grated lemon zest and serve.
