Yogurt And Honey Panna Cotta Recipes

HONEY-YOGURT PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Place cream and sugar in a medium saucepan. With a paring knife, split vanilla bean lengthwise; scrape out seeds, and add to cream along with empty pod (if using vanilla extract, add to yogurt mixture in step 4).
• Bring cream to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cover pan, remove from heat, and set aside to steep, at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place 1/2 cup cold water in a small bowl, and sprinkle gelatin over water; set aside to soften, at least 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk yogurt, honey, and salt until combined; set aside.
• Return cream to a boil. Remove from heat, and immediately stir in softened gelatin until dissolved. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into yogurt-honey mixture; mix until combined.
• Divide mixture among eight 4- to 6-ounce ramekins. Chill until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
• To serve, unmold each panna cotta from its ramekin: Run a paring knife around the top inner edge of ramekin, then dip bottom of ramekin in a bowl of boiling water for 10 seconds. Invert ramekin onto serving plate. Holding ramekin tightly to plate, shake firmly to release panna cotta. Drizzle with honey before serving.

YOGURT AND HONEY PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Soften gelatin in 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
• Meanwhile, combine the honey and 1/2 cup cream in a saucepan, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Whisk in the cream/gelatin mixture, followed by the remaining cream.
• Whisk the new cream mixture into the yogurt in a separate bowl. Pour into 6 individual serving cups/molds; or into a large mold. (I poured it into a large yogurt container.).
• Refrigerate at least 6 hours. Dip a mold in warm water to loosen the panna cotta; or spoon into bowls, and serve with fresh fruit.
• The fruit really balances out the rich sweetness of the panna cotta. The cookbook also had the fruit drizzled with honey, I found that to be too sweet.
