Ingredients

  • One 1/4-ounce envelope unflavored gelatin

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • 2 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade

  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling 

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring cream and vanilla bean and seeds to a simmer, and cook over moderately low heat for 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and whisk in gelatin mixture.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk sugar with olive oil until combined. Whisk in yogurt until smooth. Gradually whisk in the vanilla cream; remove and discard vanilla bean. Pour mixture into eight 6-ounce ramekins and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.

  3. Drop a tablespoon of marmalade on each panna cotta. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve.
