  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup real maple syrup, preferably grade B

Directions

  1. To make the panna cotta, sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a large heatproof bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  2. Whisk in the cream, mascarpone and maple syrup, and set the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisk the mixture until smooth and warmed.

  3. Divide the mixture evenly among 6 martini glasses. Cover each one with plastic wrap. Be sure that the wrap does not touch the tops of the panna cotta. Refrigerate overnight, or for a minimum of 12 hours, before serving.

  4. Top with a tiny pouf of whipped cream and a maple candy if desired.
