Rose Water Panna Cotta With Raspberries And Lychees Recipes

ROSE WATER PANNA COTTA WITH RASPBERRIES AND LYCHEES

Steps:

• Mix cream and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let stand until softened, about 2 minutes. Add to hot cream mixture, stirring until gelatin dissolves.
• Place mascarpone in a medium bowl. Strain cream mixture over top, stirring until smooth. Add rose water, and food coloring if using. Strain mixture into a large glass measuring cup or a bowl. Divide among four demitasse cups or 2-ounce ramekins. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours (or overnight).
• Dip bottoms of molds into hot water to loosen, then invert onto plates. Divide lychees, raspberries, and candied ginger among plates. Garnish each with a rose petal if using. Pour 2 tablespoons reserved lychee syrup onto each plate. Serve immediately with ginger sugar cookies.

PANNA COTTA WITH FRESH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin on 3 tablespoons cold water. Stir and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to dissolve.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the cream, the yogurt, vanilla extract, and vanilla seeds. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cream and the sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat just until the sugar dissolves. Off the heat, stir the softened gelatin into the hot cream and stir until dissolved. Pour the hot cream and gelatin mixture into the cream and yogurt mixture and stir in the Grand Marnier. Pour into 7 or 8 serving glasses and refrigerate uncovered until cold. When the panna cottas are thoroughly chilled, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Before serving, spoon 2 tablespoons of the Fresh Raspberry Sauce on each panna cotta and top with fresh raspberries. Serve cold.
• Place the raspberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and the framboise into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Pour into a container and chill. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to one week.

RASPBERRY-ROSE PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Puree the raspberries in a food processor until completely smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, discarding the solids. Add the gelatin to the raspberry puree and stir; set aside to bloom for at least 7 minutes.
• Combine the raspberry-gelatin mixture, heavy cream and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the sugar has dissolved completely, about 5 minutes. (Do not use a whisk.) Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula. Stir in the lemon juice.
• Place two 6-cavity silicone rose molds (about 2 3/4 by 1 1/2 inches per cavity) on a baking sheet. Pour the custard into the cavities, filling them to the top. Cover and freeze overnight.
• Sprinkle a few rose petals on each plate. Unmold the frozen panna cottas onto the plates, then let thaw completely before serving.

BILL GRANGERS YOGHURT PANNA COTTA WITH ROSE-SCENTED RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Place the cream and sugar in a pan over a medium heat. Using the point of a knife, scrape the vanilla bean seeds into the saucepan before adding the entire bean. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then just bring to the boil before removing from the heat.
• Soak the gelatine in cold water until soft. Squeeze out the excess water and drop the gelatine into the hot cream mixture and whisk until dissolved. Add the yoghurt and whisk until smooth.
• Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, discard the vanilla bean. Line four 125ml ramekins with plastic wrap, do this by wetting the ramekins slightly so the plastic wrap will adhere to the sides. Divide the mixture between the ramekins, cover wuth plastic wrap and chill for at least three hours, or until just set.
• To make the rose-scented raspberries, place half the raspberries in a bowl and crush with a fork. Stir in the icing sugar and taste for sweetness. Fold in the remaining raspberries and the rosewater. Chill until ready to serve.
• To serve the pannacotta, remove from ramekins onto serving plates and place spoonfuls of the rose-scented raspberries on top of each pannacotta and serve.
