Pannacotta is such a beautiful and an adaptable dessert. By adaptable I mean you can add so many things to it and make your own little pannacotta creation and show it off, just like ice cream :)
Though many food authors and chefs have their own versions of it, with combinations of milk and yoghurt, milk and cream, cream and yoghurt etc I am going to show you the most simple one , with ingredients easily available in your kitchen.
Here it is,
Simple Panna cotta.
You will need,
2 teaspoons of gelatin
1 cup of cream
1 cup of curd / yoghurt
1/3 cup of icing sugar or 3/4th cup of regular grainy sugar
2-3 teaspoon of water
3-4 tbs of honey
1 tbs of vanilla extract
Method:
Add 2-3 teaspoons of water in a small bowl and add gelatin to that, keep this aside for 5 minutes or until the gelatin dissolves in the water. Now place the cream, curd, sugar and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat or until the sugar dissolves ( make sure u don't heat it too much or the mixture will spoil, just hot enough to dissolve the sugar and gelatin ) once the sugar dissolves add the gelatin and stir, make sure it's dissolved completely .Take the mixture off the stove and set aside to cool. Now get those beautiful set of glasses out from your crockery sets and place the 2 spoons of honey in it ( smaller the glasses the better 125 ml capacity or 4 x 1/2 cups capacity ) now slowly slide the mixture from the edge of the glass so that the mixture settles over the honey and does not combine with it. (If this sounds tricky then just place the honey on top of the mixtures after it sets in the fridge ) . Now place these in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until it sets.
and you are done :)
You can vary this dish by adding rose water, orange blossom, espresso coffee instead of vanilla extract.
instead of the honey spoon over other sauces like the strawberry crush or any Macro crushes. You can even make caramel and add that to the mixture. You can also make a jelly and serve it with that, u can either place the jelly mixture on top of the dessert once its set and let the jelly set over it, or make it in advance and serve dices over it. For your dinner parties warm some water and rub the glasses around with it and pop out the set pannacotta on white plates and serve the sauce around it.
Experiment with this dessert, it is so versatile, you will not go wrong with it.
My recommendation, try strawberry sauce and green apple flavouring.
Tip 1: use I teaspoon of gelatin for thicker substitutes like cream and curd and 2 teaspoons of gelatin for thinner substitutes like milk.
Enjoy :)
