Cooks illustrated found problems with many recipes is a rubbery texture from a heavy hand with the gelatin. Also they found that the individual packettes varied considerably in the quantity of gelatin in each and so warned against going without careful measuring. They have a wonderful plain panna cotta recipe that uses just 2 3/4 teaspoons of gelatin to a total of 3 cups of cream and 1 cup of milk (nearly double what this recipe has). It comes out a wonderful delicate firmness.
This was lovely, but the panna cotta did not set. After some research, I realized the gelatin measurement for this is off. 1 teaspoon for this much liquid barely did anything after a fully day in the fridge, 1 tablespoon is closer to what's needed. I re-warmed the mixture and dissolved more bloomed gelatin and re-set this.
I need to watch calories and salt so I made it with 1 cup of whipping cream (821cal), 1/2 cup 2% milk (122 cal) and no Nutella or salt. I used 2 tsp of gelatin and 4 tabls. of cold water. It set in an hour, came out creamy, delicious.
I hate to say it but I’m a no on this one—it’s way too sweet and Nutella-y. Too rich. I’ll make this again, but with half the Nutella, and half a cup of buttermilk. BTW I don’t get the complaints about the gelatin: I followed the recipe to a T and it set up great.
It came out delicious! I doubled the recipe, but only add one cup of milk, instead of 2. Ended up using one whole envelope of powdered gelatin. It thickened overnight and can’t wait to offer to my guests!
I attempted to leave another review. I made this and it was good. I will definitely make it again. It’s quick and easy. Especially when I used my Thermomix T5. I essentially made the entire recipe in a double portion it my Thermomix. I was out of vanilla unfortunately. The recipe calls for bittersweet chocolate. The 2oz of chocolate was so bitter that you couldn’t taste the Nutella. I doubled the amount of gelatin. It was a little too heavy.
