Corn Panna Cotta With Dulce De Leche Recipes

CORN PANNA COTTA WITH DULCE DE LECHE

Steps:

• Bring milk and sugar to simmer in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add corn kernels. Simmer until corn is tender, about 5 minutes. Strain milk into large saucepan; add 2 cups cream, coarse salt, and corn cobs. Bring to simmer. Cover; remove from heat. Steep 30 minutes. Transfer corn to small bowl. Cover; chill.
• Meanwhile, place 3 tablespoons water in small cup. Sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, at least 15 minutes.
• Remove cobs from cream mixture; discard cobs. Bring cream mixture to simmer. Remove from heat. Add softened gelatin; stir to dissolve. Divide cream mixture among six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.
• Whisk dulce de leche and 3 tablespoons cream in small bowl to blend. Spoon some sauce over each panna cotta. Sprinkle a few corn kernels over each dessert (reserve remaining corn for another use) and serve.

PANNA COTTA WITH DULCE DE LECHE

Steps:

• Combine the cream and sugar in a large saucepan, set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Whisk in the vanilla pod and seeds, breaking up the seed clumps. Lower the heat and gently simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Pour the gelatin into a small saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons cold water and let sit for a few minutes. Put the saucepan over the lowest heat possible and warm it until the gelatin has dissolved, making sure it doesn't boil. Transfer the gelatin mixture to the vanilla-infused cream and whisk to combine. Remove the vanilla pod.
• Set out 8 (1/2-cup) glasses. Place 2 tablespoons of dulce de leche in each. (Avoid using a wet spoon: water will discolor the dulce de leche.)
• Divide the warm cream mixture between the glasses. Let cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. If left for more than a day, the water in the panna cotta will discolor the dulce de leche, so do not prepare too far in advance.

CEREAL-MILK PANNA COTTA WITH CARAMELIZED CORN FLAKE CRUNCH

Steps:

• To make panna cotta, heat oven to 300 degrees. Spread cereal on a baking sheet and bake until toasty, about 12 minutes. While still warm, transfer to large bowl or container and add milk and cream. Stir to combine and let steep 45 minutes. (Dessert will get too starchy if it steeps longer.)
• Strain into a microwave-safe bowl or a saucepan, pressing to extract liquid. (Discard soggy cereal or eat it.) Add salt and brown sugar, and heat just until milk is hot enough to dissolve sugar, watching carefully. Stir gently to dissolve sugar. Ladle 1/4 cup milk mixture into a small bowl and mix in gelatin. Set aside 5 minutes, then whisk soaked gelatin back into remaining milk mixture.
• Divide mixture among 8 ramekins or silicone molds. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. If using ramekins, cover and reserve until ready to serve. If using molds, freeze 1 hour and pop out onto wax paper (not parchment), then refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, make topping, if you like: heat oven to 275 degrees. Put 3/4 cup cereal in a large bowl and crush lightly with your hands. In a small bowl, stir together milk powder, sugar and salt. Sprinkle mixture over crushed flakes and add melted butter. Toss to coat cereal evenly. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or a nonstick baking mat) and bake 20 minutes, or until deep golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside to cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container up to 1 week.
• When ready, serve cold panna cottas in ramekins or turn out onto plates. Sprinkle generously with corn flake topping.
