  • For the Panna Cotta:
  • 2 teaspoons (1 packet) unflavored gelatin
  • 3 cups heavy cream, divided
  • 2 cups plain whole milk yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
  • Fresh Raspberry Sauce (recipe below)
  • 2 (6-ounce) packages fresh raspberries

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin on 3 tablespoons cold water. Stir and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to dissolve.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together 1½ cups of the cream, the yogurt, vanilla extract, and vanilla seeds. Heat the remaining 1½ cups of cream and the sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat just until the sugar dissolves. Off the heat, stir the softened gelatin into the hot cream and stir until dissolved. Pour the hot cream and gelatin mixture into the cream and yogurt mixture and stir in the Grand Marnier. Pour into 7 or 8 serving glasses and refrigerate uncovered until cold. When the panna cottas are thoroughly chilled, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Before serving, spoon 2 tablespoons of the fresh raspberry sauce on each panna cotta and top with fresh raspberries. Serve cold.

  • For the Fresh Raspberry Sauce:
  • 1 (6-ounce) package fresh raspberries
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup (12 ounces) seedless raspberry jam, such as Tiptree (see note)
  • 1 tablespoon framboise liqueur

Place the raspberries, sugar, and ¼ cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and the framboise into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Pour into a container and chill. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to one week.
