In collaboration with a2 Milk™ & Percol Coffee.
Panna cotta is one of the easiest desserts ever to make – simply set cream, milk and sugar with some gelatine and top with your favourite sauce!
For this recipe, I’ve combined the delicious flavour of Percol coffee and the tummy-friendly a2 Milk™ in a dessert which will be sure to impress any dinner guests, and it’s virtually fuss-free to make too!
My husband has declared panna cotta to be his new favourite dessert, and I’m quite delighted as it really is remarkably easy to make. All you need to do is sprinkle the contents of one gelatine sachet, the kind you can find in the baking section at your local supermarket (gelatine leaves are too faffy for my tastes, if I’m to be honest, I like to keep it simple!) over half of the milk you’re using, leave it for a few minutes, heat and blend into the remaining ingredients. Then you simply pour into your dessert dishes. You could, if you wanted, lightly grease your dish to turn the panna cotta out onto a serving plate, but like I said, I like to keep things simple.
Percol Coffee is a small, London-based team of coffee lovers along with a little office dog called Lupo. They’re the only brand which offers a delicious range of instant, ground, whole beans, capsules and coffee bags. This means you can find the perfect cuppa for every occasion, whether you’ve got time to freshly grind your own beans or feel like an instant pick me up.
For this recipe, I’ve used their Smooth Columbia 100% pure arabica instant coffee granules to flavour a homemade coffee caramel sauce.
Percol has always had a focus on sustainability and responsibility from bean to cup and choose to use Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade and organic certified coffees.
Also, did you know that not all cow’s milk is the same? Way back when, all cows only produced the A2 protein, but domestication of the cattle led to cows developing the A1 protein. Nearly 70% of all dairy cows these days produce the A1 protein, which can trigger the symptoms of milk intolerance in sensitive individuals as the A1 protein is much more difficult to digest than the A2 protein.
a2 Milk™ contains no A1 protein, meaning it’s gentle on sensitive tummies. It’s natural cows’ milk with nothing added and nothing is taken away, just as nature intended. As such, it’s suitable for the whole family.
I’ve combined the tummy-friendly a2 Milk™ with goats cream for my panna cotta, a cream which is also naturally free from the A1 protein and can be found in most supermarkets.
You can find a2 Milk™ on most leading Supermarket shelves and on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Percol coffee is also on the social media scene: follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Look out for their products in many leading supermarkets.

In the meantime, here’s a rather delicious panna cotta recipe for you!

Instructions
- To prepare the panna cotta, measure out 125 ml of the a2 Milk™ into a small saucepan and sprinkle over the contents of the gelatine sachet. Stir gently and leave to sit for five to ten minutes.
- Gently heat the a2 Milk™ and gelatine until the gelatine granules have completely dissolved. Rub the a2 Milk™ between your thumb and fingertips; you will not be able to feel the gelatine when it is ready.
- Meanwhile, place the remaining a2 Milk™, the goat cream and vanilla sugar into a blender and blend on low until combined.
- With the blender still running on low, slowly pour in the a2 Milk™ and gelatine.
- Pour into four individual serving glasses and chill in the refrigerator for two hours.
- To make the coffee caramel sauce, crush the Percol instant coffee granules in a mortar and pestle to a fine powder. Dissolve in the hot water and add to the goat's cream. Set aside.
- Pour the caster sugar into a medium sized non-stick pan and heat over a medium-high temperature. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, slowly trace a circle pattern in the sugar to keep it moving as it melts. Keep stirring until the sugar has melted completely and is a lovely golden caramel colour, about ten minutes.
- When the sugar has caramelized, stir in the butter until it has melted completely and add the coffee cream. Stir until combined and remove from the heat. Pour into a bowl and set aside to come to room temperature.
- To serve, spoon one quarter of the room temperature coffee caramel sauce over the top of each of the individual vanilla panna cottas.
