"Panna cotta" in Italian means, "cooked cream." Nicole Coady of Finale Desserterie & Bakery's simple, chilled dessert does not require much more effort than that. Gelatin is added to scalded cream and milk, as Nicole whisks in sweet, rich white chocolate pieces. Chill the mixture overnight until firm and top with farm-fresh, seasonal berries when serving. Guests will assume that you went through much more work than you actually did!
1. Line a 8" x 13" cake pan with plastic wrap, making sure to cover the bottoms and sides
2. Place sheets of gelatin in a small bowl of ice cold water to soften, about 5 minutes
3. Over a medium flame, heat heavy cream and milk. When the milk just begins to boil, remove gelatin from water and and squeeze. Stir gelatin into cream mixture to melt
4. Add the chopped white chocolate, stir until melted and remove from heat
5. Pour into lined pan and refrigerate to set, 8 hours to overnight
6. Serve with your favorite fruit and/or shortbread
