Print Recipe

A delicate, creamy dessert infused with fragrant rose water and fresh vanilla bean seeds, offering a smooth, elegant texture that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons (about 7 g) gelatin powder
  • 1 large vanilla bean pod, split and scraped
  • 1 tablespoon rose water
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) cold water
  • Optional garnish: edible rose petals, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 2 ½ teaspoons of gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit untouched for 5 minutes until it swells and becomes jelly-like.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, and ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar. Split the vanilla bean pod lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the pan, then toss in the pod itself. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove the vanilla pod carefully, squeezing any trapped liquid back into the cream.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. If there are lumps, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of rose water gently. If the aroma feels strong, add a splash more cream or milk to balance.
  6. Carefully ladle the mixture into ramekins or serving glasses. Allow them to cool slightly at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  7. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set and silky to the touch.
  8. To serve, dip each ramekin briefly in warm water and invert onto a plate, or serve directly in the glass. Garnish with edible rose petals, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey if desired.

Notes

Bloom gelatin properly in cold water before adding to the hot cream mixture to ensure the panna cotta sets perfectly. Avoid boiling the cream mixture to preserve delicate flavors. Cover ramekins with plastic wrap while chilling to prevent skin formation. For vegan or dairy-free versions, substitute coconut milk and agar agar accordingly.
