Instructions
 

  • Purée the chopped strawberries and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. In a small bowl, soften 2 teaspoons of agar-agar powder in a little water. This step is crucial for proper activation and prevents clumping. In a saucepan, combine the strawberry purée, heavy cream, and powdered sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • For sharper layer definition, ensure each layer is fully set in the refrigerator before pouring the next one. Use the back of a spoon to gently diffuse the impact and prevent mixing.
  • If using fresh strawberries, blend and strain them to remove seeds for a smoother purée.
  • For a striking presentation, set the pannacotta in individual clear glasses tilted at an angle for a dramatic diagonal layered effect.
  • To make this dessert vegan, substitute dairy cream and milk with full-fat coconut milk or almond milk, adjusting sweetness as needed, and use agar agar as directed for setting.

Expert Tips

  • Experiment with different fruit purées or coulis for variations on this classic dessert. Raspberry, mango, or even chocolate would create delicious flavor combinations.
  • Don't be afraid to get creative with the layering. You can create thinner or thicker layers, or even swirl colors together for a marbled effect.
  • For an extra touch of elegance, garnish the finished pannacotta with fresh berries, a sprig of mint, or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover pannacotta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
