Ingredients
  • 4 cup half and half
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored powder gelatin
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 orange, zested
  • 2 teaspoon orange juice
  • 2 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tablespoon confectioners sugar
Directions
  1. Spray 6 ramekins or juice glasses with the nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add the half and half to a saucepan over low-medium heat (don’t let the mixture get too hot or come to a boil).
  3. When warm, sprinkle the gelatin over the mixture, and stir it to dissolve it.
  4. Add the mascarpone and stir until melted.
  5. Add the sugar, orange zest and vanilla, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  6. Remove from the heat and let it stand for about 5 minutes.
  7. Pour the mixture evenly into the ramekins or glasses.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours, but ideally overnight.
  9. When the panna cotta has set, move a knife around the edges of the ramekin or glasses to loosen it, and gently shake each onto individual plates.
  10. Put the raspberries in a bowl and press them softly with a fork to produce some juice.
  11. Add the orange juice and confectioners sugar and mix together. Keep the berry mixture refrigerated until you’re ready to serve the panna cotta.
  12. Drizzle the berry mixture over each serving.
