Steps:

Take the favorite Italian combination of fresh strawberries and balsamic to the next level by drizzling some aged balsamic over strawberry gelato. If you don¿t have any on hand, you can make your own balsamic syrup: Bring 2 cups balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar is reduced to 1 cup and coats the back of a spoon, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.

Panna cotta
2 tablespoons water
1 1/4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
2 cups whipping cream
1 1/4 cups plain goat's-milk or whole-milk yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
Strawberries
2 1-pint baskets strawberries, hulled, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

For panna cotta:
Pour 2 tablespoons water into small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water. Let stand until softened, about 15 minutes. Whisk 1 cup cream, yogurt, and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Heat remaining 1 cup cream and 1/2 cup sugar in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and cream comes to simmer. Remove from heat.

Refrigerate desserts uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
