Pumpkin Coconut Panna Cottas Recipes

PUMPKIN COCONUT PANNA COTTAS

Steps:

• Sprinkle gelatin over water in a very small saucepan and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved, then remove from heat.
• Pulse coconut milk, cream, pumpkin, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a blender to combine, then add gelatin mixture and blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl with a spout or transfer to a 4-quart measuring cup.
• Pour mixture into bowls and chill, covered, until firm, at least 6 hours.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Spread coconut on a rimmed sheet pan and stirring once or twice bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes, and cool.
• Just before serving, sprinkle desserts with coconut and drizzle with honey.

COCONUT PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Pour ¼ cup coconut milk into a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin powder on top. Let stand until softened, about 1 minute.
• Combine remaining coconut milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook and whisk constantly without simmering for 3 minutes. Add coconut flour. Continue cooking over low heat while stirring until smooth and lump free, 7 minutes longer.
• Add gelatin mixture to the cream mixture and whisk vigorously to dissolve gelatin. Remove from heat and pass mixture through a fine sieve.
• Wet an aluminum panna cotta mold with water and pour in cream mixture; wetting the mold first makes it easier to unmold later. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• Flip panna cotta onto a serving plate, carefully unmold, and sprinkle the top with some coconut.

PUMPKIN PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Arrange 6 individual serving dishes, such as ramekins or dessert glasses or cups on a rimmed baking sheet. Make room for the baking sheet in your refrigerator.
• Place the water in a shallow bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the cream and brown sugar in a medium pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally to help the sugar dissolve completely, until the cream comes to a bare simmer. Measure out 1/3 cup of the sweetened condensed milk and reserve it; whisk the remainder into the pot, along with the pumpkin pie spice and salt.
• Add the bloomed gelatin to the pot and stir until it is fully dissolved. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the pumpkin puree, sour cream and vanilla. Transfer the mixture to a large heatproof container with a pour spout, such as a liquid measuring cup.
• Divide the mixture among the prepared serving dishes. Refrigerate until fully set, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days (if storing longer than 8 hours, cover loosely with plastic wrap). Once the panna cottas have set, divide the remaining sweetened condensed milk over the portioned panna cottas to create a thin, even layer on each. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

PUMPKIN PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• In a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1 cup milk and let sit for 10 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining milk, cream, sugar and salt to just before boiling. Whisk the gelatin mixture, pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg into the warmed cream. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes, then strain through a sieve lined with cheesecloth. Do not press on the solids. Pour into 5 3/4-cup ramekins and chill for at least 3 hours.
• To serve, dip the base of a ramekin in hot water until the panna cotta is loose. Lay a plate on top and invert it. You may need to shake the ramekin to release the panna cotta.

Steps:

• Put 1/2 cup of the milk in a 6- or 8-cup saucepan, and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, blend together the remaining milk, cream, pumpkin, sugar and cinnamon. The mixture should be perfectly smooth, so it is best to use a blender.
• Turn the heat under the saucepan to low, and cook the milk, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin dissolves. Pour in the cream mixture, and turn the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until steam rises. Turn off the heat, and ladle or pour the mixture into 6 4-ounce ramekins or other containers.
• Chill the panna cotta until firm, and serve, with creme fraiche or whipped cream if you like.

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix yogurt and pumpkin pie mix; set aside. In small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup of the milk; let stand 1 minute to soften.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat remaining 1/4 cup milk to boiling; remove from heat. Stir in softened gelatin with whisk until dissolved. Stir gelatin mixture into yogurt mixture. Spoon into six 6-oz custard cups. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
• To serve, run knife around edges of custard cups to loosen. Turn panna cottas upside down onto dessert plates; remove custard cups. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover and refrigerate any remaining panna cottas.
