Panna Cotta
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of whole milk
1 package of gelatin
1 1/2 cups of heavy cream (36%)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
3 Tbsps of sugar
1 pinch of salt
Directions:
Pour the milk into a saucepan, sprinkle with gelatin and let stand for 10 minutes. Combine the cream and vanilla. Prepare an ice water bath by combining a tray of ice cubes and 2-3 cups of cold water.
Heat the milk and gelatin over medium heat, stirring constantly until the gelatin dissolves and the temp reaches 135 F about 1 and 1/2 minutes. Off the heat stir in the sugar until dissolved. Stirring constantly slowly add the cream and vanilla mixture to the milk, then transfer to a bowl and set over the water bath.
Stir until the mixture thickens slightly and the temperature drops to 50 F (10C). Pour into small bowls or wine/martini glasses and cover with plastic wrap and chill until set, at least 2 hours. This makes unmolding unnecessary. After removing from fridge, serve immediately with berry sauce or fresh berries.
Serves 4.
Stawberry Sauce
Ingredients:
8 oz fresh or fresh unsweetened strawberries
3 Tbsps of sugar
Directions:
Place the fresh or frozen berries in a saucepan, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally
for about 10 minutes.
Add the sugar and cook another 1-2 minutes. (For a smooth sauce puree).
tried this was elegant and rich and ever so tasty. I never knew you could make panacotta without setting it for hours and frankly didn't expect it to taste good so I was very happily surprised thanks for this great blog.
