Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons powdered gelatin
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cold water (for blooming gelatin)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup prosecco
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons cold water (for blooming second gelatin)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)
  • Extra sliced strawberries (optional garnish)
  • Crushed freeze-dried strawberries (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves and mixture is steaming (not boiling), about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Remove pan from heat. Whisk in bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add vanilla extract and whisk again.
  4. Divide cream mixture equally into 6-8 serving glasses or ramekins (about 1/2 cup each). Let cool for 10 minutes, then cover loosely with plastic wrap. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  5. While panna cotta sets, blend strawberries with powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a silky finish.
  6. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
  7. In a small saucepan, gently warm prosecco until just steaming (not boiling). Stir in bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
  8. Mix prosecco-gelatin mixture with strawberry puree. Cool for 10 minutes.
  9. Once cream layer is set, gently pour strawberry prosecco mixture on top. Return glasses to fridge and chill for another 2 hours, or until top layer is softly set.
  10. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint, sliced strawberries, or crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Serve cold and enjoy!

Notes

For dairy-free, use coconut cream and almond milk. For alcohol-free, substitute prosecco with sparkling apple cider or lemon-lime soda. Strain fruit puree for a silky texture. Chill thoroughly between layers for clean separation. Can be made ahead and stored up to 3 days in the fridge.
