Classic Panna Cotta - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, agar-agar is a great plant-based substitute. Use 1 tsp agar-agar powder (or follow package instructions) as it sets firmer than gelatin.
Properly stored in an airtight container, panna cotta keeps well for 3-4 days. The texture remains best within 48 hours.
Absolutely! Replace heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk for a rich vegan version. Reduce sugar slightly as coconut milk is naturally sweet.
This usually happens if the gelatin wasn't fully dissolved or the cream mixture wasn't hot enough. Ensure you stir thoroughly after adding gelatin.
Freezing isn't recommended as it alters the creamy texture. Thawed panna cotta often becomes grainy or separates.
Briefly dip molds in warm water (5-10 sec), then dry the bottom. Run a thin knife around edges and invert onto a plate with a quick shake.
Top with fresh berries, caramel sauce, or citrus zest. For elegance, serve in wine glasses with a cookie on the side.
Yes, sugar can be cut by 25% without affecting texture. For keto, use powdered erythritol (same amount as sugar).
Use 4-oz ramekins or small jars for individual servings. This recipe typically yields 4-6 modest portions.
