- 2 cups chopped rhubarb
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for panna cotta)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until rhubarb is soft, about 10 minutes. Puree and strain if desired. Set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- In another saucepan, combine heavy cream and 1/3 cup sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream and stir until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Divide the rhubarb puree between serving glasses or ramekins.
- Gently pour the cream mixture over the rhubarb layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Serve chilled. Optionally garnish with whipped cream or fresh rhubarb slices.
Notes
- Strain the rhubarb puree for a smoother texture.
- Use fresh rhubarb for best flavor, but frozen can be substituted.
- Can be made a day in advance.
