The Method

1
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes until softened.
2
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the cream is just simmering. Do not boil.
3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
4
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and stir until completely dissolved. Make sure there are no lumps.
5
Stir in the limoncello.
6
Pour the panna cotta mixture into four ramekins. Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap, pressing it gently onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
7
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely set.
8
To serve, gently loosen the edges of the panna cotta with a knife. Invert the ramekins onto serving plates. If the panna cotta doesn't release easily, dip the bottom of the ramekin briefly in warm water.
9
Top with fresh berries and garnish with a sprig of mint.

Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of limoncello to your preference. If you want a stronger citrus flavor, add a bit more, but be careful not to add too much liquid, as it could affect the setting of the panna cotta.

For a smoother texture, strain the panna cotta mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the ramekins.

You can prepare the panna cotta up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.

"The sweetness of the grilled peaches provides a refreshing contrast to the spicy and savory risotto. The salty prosciutto offers a complementary savory element, while the balsamic glaze adds a touch of acidity to cut through the richness of the risotto, preparing the palate for the main course."
