Print Recipe

A delicate and elegant floral dessert featuring a silky vanilla bean panna cotta infused with rose water and garnished with edible rose petals. Perfect for special occasions or a quiet indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 whole vanilla bean pod, split and scraped
  • 2 teaspoons (about 7 g) unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 teaspoon rose water
  • 2 tablespoons edible rose petals, fresh or dried

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons (7 g) of gelatin over ¼ cup (60 ml) of cold whole milk in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, ¾ cup (180 ml) whole milk (reserve ¼ cup for gelatin), and ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar. Add the split vanilla bean pod along with the seeds scraped out.
  3. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling (around 170°F or 77°C).
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and fish out the vanilla bean pod.
  5. Stir the bloomed gelatin into the hot cream mixture until completely dissolved. Then add 1 teaspoon of rose water and gently stir.
  6. Pour the panna cotta base through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl or jug to catch any undissolved gelatin bits or vanilla pod stringiness.
  7. Pour the mixture evenly into 4 to 6 ramekins or small glasses. Drop a few edible rose petals into each.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Serve chilled, optionally unmolded with extra rose petals or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

Bloom gelatin properly in cold milk before adding to warm cream to avoid lumps. Do not boil the cream mixture to preserve vanilla flavor. Use edible, pesticide-free rose petals. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. If panna cotta is too soft, check gelatin freshness; if too firm, reduce gelatin next time.
