Sangria Panna Cotta Recipes

PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Pour milk into a small bowl, and stir in the gelatin powder. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, stir together the heavy cream and sugar, and set over medium heat. Bring to a full boil, watching carefully, as the cream will quickly rise to the top of the pan. Pour the gelatin and milk into the cream, stirring until completely dissolved. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and pour into six individual ramekin dishes.
• Cool the ramekins uncovered at room temperature. When cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before serving.

PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Add the cream, milk, vanilla seeds and pod to a bowl and whisk together. Then sprinkle with gelatin. Whisk together and let sit for 5 minutes while you gather the other ingredients so the gelatin can bloom. Heat the milk mixture in a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir until the gelatin dissolves and the milk mixture comes up to a very light boil, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a measuring cup and pour into six 4-ounce ramekins. Let rest on the counter for about 15 minutes to cool down, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Dip the ramekins into a bowl of warm water to remove to a small dessert plate. Serve with Dark Chocolate Sauce.
• In a medium saucepan, bring a few inches water to a simmer. Place a glass bowl over the top of the saucepan and add the chocolate. Stir constantly until melted. Whisk in the agave nectar and the hot water and heat until smooth. Use a funnel to add to a small squirt bottle.

SANGRIA PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Remove a wide, 2-inch-long strip of zest from 1 orange with a paring knife. Finely grate the zest of the other orange and set aside. Peel and segment both oranges, cover and refrigerate.
• Combine the wine, 5 tablespoons sugar, the honey, cinnamon stick and orange zest strip in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 40 minutes. Discard the cinnamon and zest and cool the wine reduction completely. Set aside 1/2 cup for serving.
• Combine the milk with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium saucepan. Sprinkle in the gelatin and let stand, undisturbed,
• until the gelatin softens, about 4 minutes. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin and sugar are just dissolved (do not boil); let cool. Whisk in 1 cup of the wine reduction, the grated orange zest and yogurt until smooth. Pour into six 6-ounce ramekins or jars, cover and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, core and finely dice the apple, then toss with the reserved orange segments. Dip the bottom of each ramekin in warm water to loosen. Invert each panna cotta onto a plate, drizzle with the reserved wine reduction and top with the fruit.

PANNA COTTA WITH FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• Whisk together the cream, vanilla seeds, vanilla pod and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat and let stand 10 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small bowl and let stand until the gelatin is moistened, about 5 minutes. Return the saucepan to medium heat and whisk the gelatin mixture into the cream mixture. Bring to a simmer and stir until the gelatin is dissolved.
• Pour the cream mixture into 4 custard cups or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the panna cotta is set, about 4 hours (or up to overnight).
• About an hour before serving, combine the berries, lemon juice and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl, tossing to coat. Let stand until ready to serve.
• To serve, dip the bottoms of the custard cups in a bowl of very hot water. Run a knife around the edges and unmold the panna cotta onto serving plates. (You can also serve right in the custard cups.) Top with the macerated berries.
