Valentine’s Italian Panna Cotta
Whenever I visit my Mom in Crete, we always go to this amazing Taverna by the Ocean front and for dessert they always give us Panna Cotta to share. It is so delicious that I always leave room for dessert when we dine there.
I usually make it during the hotter months as it is such a refreshing dessert, but since I had made too much jello (which did not fit in my container). So rather than discard it I just thought of using to make panna cotta and decorate it with it.
My favorite recipe comes from my friend and Guy Demarle Colleague Sonia (@soniaouki). It is so perfectly balanced, that you will never make another recipe than this one. Of course, you can enjoy Sonia’s recipe right HERE!
Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.

Valentine’s Italian Panna Cotta
Equipment
Ingredients
STRAWBERRY JELLO
- 1 strawberry jello (From Your Favorite Brand)
PANNA COTTA
- 6 gelatin sheets
- 5 cups (1200 g) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 2 pouches (25 g) Vanilla sugar
- 2 tsp (10 g) Vanilla Bean paste
Instructions
JELLO PREPARATION
- Place your Sunflower Flexipan® Mold on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet.
- Make your jello as instructed on the packaging. Only use the amount you need to decorate your Sunflower Flexipan® Mold. Refrigerate the rest of the jello as you would usually do. Then, place your Flexipan® in the freezer while you prepare your panna cotta.
PANNA COTTA PREPARATION
- Place the gelatin in a small bowl full of cold water. Let it set for 10min.
- In the medium sauce pan, heat on medium low the heavy whipping cream, the sugars and the Vanilla Bean together. Continue to whisk until it starts boiling. Once it starts boiling, remove from heat and drop the scooped gelatin in. Stir until desolved. Place the sauce pan in a "bain-marie" of cold water. This will cool it down a little bit. IMPORTANT: If you pour hot cream on your Jello, it will melt.
- Once it has cooled down, take your Flexipan® out of the freezer. Pour the panna cotta into your mold, cover with a plastic wrap to contact and freeze overnight.
- The following day, take your your Flexipan® out of the freezer. Place it on a plate face down and peel it right off. Allow a good couple of hours to defrost at room temperature, or more if in the fridge. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
