A quick note about half and half. It was actually so easy to make, I was pleasantly surprised! And I added warm compote, so it just melted. But it did taste nice, so I def will try again. I always use small glass bowl Super easy and it turned out great. Whats half and half???? Never made a panna cotta before and it worked out perfectly!
Super quick and yummy especially with a berry compote. Sydney, Australia. Do you leave these in the fridge or freezer to chill? Love this recipe. There are those who love the classic caramel, those who love a fruit coulis, those who love chocolate, and those who still love the exotic taste of passion fruit or mango.
There are also those who love their panna cotta au naturel or simply flavored with a vanilla stick and those who serve it in elegant slices or as super chic single portions.
Panna Cotta is the perfect dessert after a meal. It can also be enjoyed as a tasty snack and children love it. In summer, why not accompany it with seasonal fruit and serve cold.
The great thing is that you can prepare it in advance and eat it the next day. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Meanwhile, heat ml of milk without boiling it. Squeeze the fish-gelatin and dissolve it in the milk. Separately, heat half a liter of fresh cream and add grams of sugar stirring it well to melt it completely.
A bit of vanilla for flavor. Why, then, are some of them so wonderful and others so blah? Never underestimate the lengths a food geek will go to in order to master a simple dish. I analyzed a dozen recipes for panna cotta for three main attributes: the percentage of butterfat, the amount of gelatin and the sweetness.
The reason for the gelatin is obvious — a perfect panna cotta should have just enough that it seems the cream is barely holding together. It quivers when you touch it. The butterfat takes a little explaining. You can simply average the percentage of butterfat in the various dairy components. Heavy cream is 36 percent, half-and-half is 12 percent and whole milk is 3. Therefore, a recipe that calls for a cup of half-and-half and 2 cups of cream will have a butterfat percentage of 28 percent.
Until you get toward the lowest end of that spectrum, the less butterfat the better — though when I tasted the 23 percent next to the 18 percent, I did find that the slightly higher fat content carried the flavor better while still tasting fresh. Sweetness was relatively easy to figure. Pretty much however you like. Fruit, licorice or chocolate, for example. Panna cotta is an easy dish to succeed with, but the key to the smooth texture is the relationship between fat and gelatin.
You can replace the cream with milk, soy milk or coconut milk but you have to increase the amount of gelatin accordingly.
A larger amount of a liquid flavor element means you might have to adjust the amount of gelatin upwards too. The mixture that is going to turn into panna cotta should only simmer until the gelatin has dissolved.
Boiling it will destroy the properties of the gelatin.
