Saffron Panna Cotta

Ingredients:

Heavy cream: 2 cups
Milk: 1 cup
Gelatin powder: 1 tablespoon
Cold water: 1/4 cup
Sugar: 1/2 cup
Saffron: 1/2 teaspoon (dissolved in a little warm water)
Vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions:

Prepare the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom (absorb the water). Then, heat it gently until it dissolves completely.

Heat the cream and milk: In a saucepan, combine the cream, milk, and sugar. Place the pan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is slightly warm (don’t let it boil).

Add saffron: Stir in the saffron that you’ve dissolved in warm water, mixing it well into the cream mixture.

Add gelatin: Slowly add the dissolved gelatin to the cream mixture, stirring constantly to ensure it is fully incorporated.

Add vanilla: Finally, stir in the vanilla extract and remove the mixture from the heat.

Pour into molds: Pour the mixture into your desired molds (such as silicone molds or small glasses), then refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.

Serve: Once the panna cotta has set, you can unmold it and garnish with pistachios, rose petals, or any other topping of your choice.

This dessert has a silky texture, and the saffron gives it a unique flavor and aroma. Enjoy!
