Strawberries And Cream Panna Cotta Recipes

PANNA COTTA WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a bowl; sprinkle the gelatin over the milk. Allow mixture to sit until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the cream and 1/4 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the gelatin mixture; cook and stir until gelatin dissolves completely, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture evenly into ramekins; cover and chill at least 4 hours.
• To make the strawberry sauce, combine the strawberries, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. While the mixture cooks, crush the strawberries with a potato masher. Simmer the sauce until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes; cool.
• Remove chilled ramekins from the refrigerator shortly before serving. Dip the bottoms of the cups in warm water to help loosen the custard. Run a thin-bladed knife around the inner edge of each ramekin to loosen the dessert; turn onto a dessert plate to unmold. Spoon strawberry sauce over panna cotta to serve.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Arrange 8 small (4-ounce) silicone molds or 4-ounce ramekins or an 8-inch round silicone mold on a rimmed baking sheet. Make room for the baking sheet in your refrigerator.
• If using gelatin sheets, soak them in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes. If using powdered gelatin, place 3 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the surface and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Put the cream, milk, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla bean and seeds in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until simmering, about 5 minutes; do not boil.
• If using soaked gelatin sheets, squeeze out the excess water. Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the cream mixture until completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add the white chocolate, remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk until the chocolate completely melts and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into the prepared silicone molds and allow to cool at room temperature, about 1 hour. Once cooled, refrigerate the panna cotta until cold and set, about 4 hours.
• Put 1 pound of the strawberries, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the Champagne and a pinch of salt in a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer to a large nonstick skillet and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes. Reduce to medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and syrupy, about 15 minutes. Add the orange zest, remove from the heat and let sit until cool, about 15 minutes. Remove and discard the zest, transfer the syrup to a medium bowl and chill until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, dip the chilled silicone molds in warm water to loosen each panna cotta and invert them onto plates. Pour the chilled strawberry syrup over the top of each panna cotta and serve with remaining quartered strawberries.

PANNA COTTA WITH BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin on 1 1/2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to dissolve.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of the cream, the yogurt, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds. Heat the remaining 3/4 cup of cream and the 1/3 cup of sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Off the heat, add the softened gelatin to the hot cream and stir to dissolve. Pour the hot cream-gelatin mixture into the cold cream-yogurt mixture and stir to combine. Pour into 4 (6 to 8-ounce) ramekins or custard cups and refrigerate uncovered until cold. When the panna cottas are thoroughly chilled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and pepper 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Set aside at room temperature.
• To serve, run a small knife around each dessert in the ramkein and dip the bottom of each ramekin quickly in a bowl of hot tap water. Invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate and surround the panna cotta with strawberries. Dust lightly with freshly grated lemon zest and serve.

STRAWBERRY PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• For the panna cotta, put the gelatine leaves in a small bowl of cold water to soften - this will take about 5 mins. Meanwhile, pour the cream, milk and sugar into a pan, split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds and add, along with the pod, to the cream mixture. Heat gently until hot, but not bubbling. Remove the gelatine leaves from the water, squeeze out any excess liquid then add, one at a time, to the hot cream. Stir until dissolved. Leave to stand for 20-30 mins until cooled - the vanilla pods should be suspended in the liquid by this point. Strain the mixture through a sieve into 6 serving glasses, then chill for at least 3 hrs.
• Toss the strawberries with the cornflour and sugar in a saucepan. Place over a medium heat and cook for 4-5 mins, until the released juices thicken and the strawberries soften. Set aside to cool. Once completely cooled, top the set panna cottas with the strawberry mixture. Chill until ready to serve.
