Panna cotta with strawberry sauce
Indulge in this refreshing strawberry panna cotta that is flavoursome and has the perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 200ml milk
- 200 ml whipping cream
- ½ tbsp gelatin powder
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Strawberry sauce
- 450g fresh strawberries
- 2 tbsp. water
- 70g sugar
Method:
- Dissolve gelatin in 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it swell for about five to 10 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan bring the cream, milk and sugar to a simmer over medium-low heat (do not boil). When sugar has dissolved remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Let cool for five minutes before adding the gelatin.
- Add the gelatin in the milk mixture and stir until it has completely dissolved. Pour it in the serving glasses (150ml capacity glasses are best) and refrigerate until it sets, for about four hours or overnight if possible.
- To prepare the sauce, wash the strawberries, drain well and remove leaves. Cut strawberries into quarters.
- In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat immediately.
- Pour the mixture into a blender and blend it to a smooth sauce. Pass through a strainer to remove the seeds out of the sauce. Cover and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Right before serving, pour the strawberry sauce over the panna cotta and serve.
