How to Make Salted Caramel Panna Cotta
First, you prepare the panna cotta:
1. In a bowl, pour cold water and soak in two gelatin sheets (4 grams) for 10 minutes, so they will hydrate.
2. In a pot, add 500 ml of whipping cream and 50 grams of sugar. Now stir with a wire whisk over medium heat (level 6 if you´re using glass-ceramic ).
3. When the mixture is boiling, add in the two gelatin sheets and stir until dissolved.
4. Once the gelatin sheets have dissolved, turn up the heat for about 10 seconds and stir well. Then, turn off the fire.
5. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before pouring in small glasses. Then, put the panna cotta to chill in the refrigerator for three hours.

6. When making the caramel, in a saucepan, add 100 grams of sugar and put it over medium heat ( level 6 if you´re using a glass-ceramic ). Do not stir it with a spoon; just shake and tilt the pan gently until sugar browns evenly. As you see the first boiling bubble, add in 10 grams of salted butter and stir until intregrated. Then, add in 100 ml cream and stir until well combined.
7. Set aside the caramel and let it sit at room temperature.
Three hours later…
8. Once the panna cotta is set, pour the caramel on top and put it back in the fridge for 30 minutes.
9. Et voilà … You now have made a delicious salted carmel panna cotta!
