Panna Cotta and Strawberry Sauce

The first time I had pannacotta I was shocked how easy and delicious it was, now I make it as a wow factor to a dinner party. You can use different berries if you like.

3 cups cream
1 vanilla bean
1/3 cup caster sugar

Strawberry Sauce
3 teaspoons gelatin
Punnet of Strawberries
1 cup Wine
Sugar

Place ¼ cup cream in a small bowl and sprinkle 3teaspoons of gelatin in an even layer over the cream till spongy
Put the remaining cream in a saucepan with vanilla and sugar and gently heat while stirring
Remove from heat when warm and whisk the gelatin into the cream million.
Pour into wine glasses and chill for two hours

Strawberry Sauce
Add strawberries to a pot with 1 cup of wine and ½ cup sugar cooked till a sauce, add more sugar and wine if needed.. Cool
Pour into pannacotta as you serve so it doesn’t bleed
