Greetings internet !!
I have been waiting to try out Panna cotta, since forever. This is such a simple and elegant looking dessert, and tastes delicious! This recipe needs only few ingredients, but I am going to fancy it up by making a chocolate-nut garnish.
Ingredients:
This recipe makes 4 servings as shown in the pictures
For the panna cotta:
Milk - 1/2 cup
Cream - 1 cup
Sourcream - 1/2 cup
Gelatin - 1/2 packet
Sugar - 5 tablespoons
Salt - a very small pinch
Vanilla - 1/2 tsp
Heat the milk in a pan, once it is steaming sprinkle gelatin. Let it stand for sometime until the gelatin softens, it takes a good 5 minutes (I took the pan off from stove, after sprinkling gelatin). Next, mix well until smooth and stir in sugar, cream, salt and vanilla, on medium heat. Once the mixture is steaming (not boiling, careful there!), take it off from stove. Take the sour cream in a bowl, whisk it a few times, and slowly add the milk-cream mixture, making it uniform. This process is very similar to the way you make pudding, more relaxed. When ready, pour it into four dessert glasses. Keep them in refrigerator for 4-6 hours. Mine took closely 4 hours.
Sauce:
Straw berry - 1 cup
Sugar - 3 tablespoon
lemon juice - 1 teaspoon
Rough chop straw berries and add sugar and lemon juice. heat it until you get a syrupy texture. Blend it if you like a smooth sauce, or use it without blending. Easy peasy!!
Chocolate-nut garnish
Baking chocolate - 3 oz.
Nuts, crushed - 2 tablespoons
Melt the chocolate in a microwave, spread it on to a parchment paper and sprinkle with crushed nuts. Keep in it refrigerator until it cools down. Cut it into shapes or just crush it into big fragments. Once the panna cotta tops are firm to touch (after 4 hours or so), pour the syrup on to the top and garnish with the chocolate pieces. Keep it in the refrigerator, until ready to serve. Leftover chocolate strips can be eaten as a snack or give it to kids, they will appreciate that!!
The texture is more like a firm pudding and sour cream adds a nice layer to that.
Enjoy and Happy Easter to all !
