Equipment
- Sauce pot
- Whisk
- Serving glasses
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 1/2 cup Whipping cream
- 1/3 cup Castor sugar
- 3 tsp Gelatine powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 drop Almond extract
- 1 Orange zest
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Keep your serving glasses/bowls ready. If you will turn out the Panna Cotta once set you need to brush them with oil, generously. Set them aside.
- Bloom the powdered gelatin in water, we heat this in a microwave for 15-20 seconds and set aside to firm up. The gelatin will soak all the liquid and become lumpy.
- In a sauce pot add the milk and let is simmer. Add the sugar, gelatin lumps and stir to combine until everything is dissolved. Do not over heat or boil the mixture.
- Take off the heat, add the cream, flavorings of your choice and pour into desired bowls/glasses. Leave at room temperature for 15 mins before transferring to the fridge and chilling completely, around 2 hours.
- Serve with fresh fruit, a splash of your favourite liqueur, jam or nuts.
Notes
- Let the gelatin bloom before adding it into the milk mixture.
- Do not let the mixture boil on the stove this will kill the gelatin.
- Be patient and let it cool down before chilling in the fridge.
- Let it chill for atleast 2 hours before serving.
