Panna Cotta Cooked Cream Recipes

PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• In a very small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand about 1 minute to soften. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat until gelatin is dissolved and remove pan from heat.
• In a large saucepan bring cream, half and half, and sugar just to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring. Remove pan from heat and stir in gelatin mixture and vanilla. Divide cream mixture among eight 1/2-cup ramekins and cool to room temperature. Chill ramekins, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Dip ramekins, 1 at a time, into a bowl of hot water 3 seconds. Run a thin knife around edge of each ramekin and invert ramekin onto center of a small plate.

PANNA COTTA (CREAM CUSTARD)

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine sugar, cream and milk and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until mixture just begins to bubble. (Do not let it boil.) Remove from heat and sprinkle in a little gelatin at a time, continuing to stir. Stir for 5 minutes, then empty pan into a bowl. Let stand and stir occasionally, until mixture reaches room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Divide mixture between 6-cup ramekins or custard dishes and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, bring 1/2 inch of water to a simmer in a small skillet. Using a thin-bladed knife, loosen the custard from the sides of the ramekins. Put the ramekins bottom-down in the skillet for 2 seconds. Remove the ramekins from water and invert them onto plates, shaking to unmold the custard. Spoon berry sauce around the custards and serve.
