Panna Cotta With Honey Recipes

PANNA COTTA WITH FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• Place the milk in a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the gelatin. Pour milk mixture into a heavy saucepan and stir over medium heat just until the gelatin dissolves but the milk does not boil, about 5 minutes. Add the cream, honey, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour into 6 wine glasses so that they are 1/2 full. Cool slightly. Refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours.
• Spoon the berries atop the panna cotta and serve.

PANNA COTTA WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Place the cream, vanilla bean, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat.
• Remove the vanilla bean and split lengthwise. Scrape the vanilla beans into the cream.
• Squeeze the gelatin leaves to remove any excess water, then add them to the pan, stirring constantly about 30 seconds, or until the gelatin is melted.
• Drizzle about 2 teaspoons honey into the bottom of 6 (4-ounce) molds. Ladle the cream mixture into each. Refrigerate for several hours, until thoroughly chilled.
• To remove from the mold: Dip the bottom of the mold into a pot of hot water to loosen the panna cotta. Slide a knife around the edge, then carefully turn over onto a serving plate. Drizzle with the remaining honey and garnish with hazelnuts, if desired.

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.

PANNA COTTA WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Soften the gelatin in cold water. Bring the cream to a boil with the vanilla sugar. Remove from the heat. Squeeze out the gelatin, and disoolve into the cream with 1-2 tablespoons of honey. Divide into four 150 ml (approximately 5 ounce) ramekins. Allow to cool, covered, at least 4 hours in the refrigerator.
• Run a knife along the edge of the panna cotta to release it (or dip the ramekins quickly in hot water). Transfer the panna cotta to plates. Drizzle with the remaining honey and garnish with one sprig of the verbena.

RICOTTA PANNA COTTA WITH NECTARINES AND HONEY RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour 1/4 cup cold water into a small saucepan and sprinkle gelatin evenly over; let sit 10 minutes to soften.
• Meanwhile, coat a 9"-diameter pie or cake pan with a thin film of oil; set aside. Combine ricotta, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1 cup half-and-half in a food processor.
• When gelatin is softened, add remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half to saucepan and set over low heat. Cook, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until gelatin is completely dissolved (do not let mixture boil). Scrape mixture into food processor and process until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour into prepared pan and chill until set, at least 4 hours (cover loosely with plastic wrap after 1 hour).
• Run a butter knife or small offset spatula around sides of panna cotta to loosen the edge and break the suction.
• Fill a baking dish or similar vessel with hot water. Lower bottom of mold into water 5 seconds, then lift it back out.
• Press a serving plate firmly over top. Quickly invert in one motion; set plate down. Use knife or spatula to gently lift up mold.
• Top with nectarines; drizzle with honey and oil.
• Panna cotta (without nectarines, honey, and oil) can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
