We introduce and study the Steiner entire function, an analytic generating function for the intrinsic volumes of a convex compact set in a Hilbert space. This function extends the classical Steiner polynomial to infinite dimensions and encodes key geometric information about the set. We establish fundamental results on its order, type, and canonical product representation, and show how its analytic growth properties characterize Gaussian continuity. In particular, we provide new criteria for this property in terms of entire function theory, disprove a conjecture of Gao and Vitale, and conjecture a new characterization of admissible intrinsic volume sequences in infinite dimensions.
