This delicious recipe for Panna Cotta will impress your partner, and is dead simple to make!

Ingredients

2 leaves gelatine
300ml full fat milk
1 vanilla pod
300ml double cream
60g caster sugar
small box of raspberries

Instructions

Put the gelatine leaves in the milk to soften. Meanwhile, scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod and reserve. Place the empty vanilla pod into a pan with the cream and bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. Add the sugar, vanilla seeds and then the milk and gelatine. Stir until the sugar and gelatine are dissolved.

Half-fill a large bowl with ice, and place the pan in it. Leave to cool, stirring occasionally, until thickened - about 30 minutes. Transfer to 4 x 180ml metal moulds (mini pudding basins are ideal) and refrigerate for at least 10 hours.

When you're ready to serve, prepare the raspberries by dusting them lightly with icing sugar.

Remove the panna cottas from the fridge, run a knife between mould and panna cotta, turn over and tap sharply to release. Serve with the lightly dusted raspberries.
