Vanilla Raspberry Panna Cotta Recipes

VANILLA-RASPBERRY PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• In small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; set aside to soften gelatin.
• In 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat whipping cream, milk, sugar and vanilla over medium heat to simmering, stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. With whisk, stir in softened gelatin until completely dissolved. Cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Place 2 raspberries in bottom of each of 8 shot gasses. Divide cream mixture evenly among glasses. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
• Just before serving, top each panna cotta with remaining raspberries and 3/4 teaspoon honey. Garnish with mint.

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.

PANNA COTTA WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour half-and-half into 1 1/2-quart saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin evenly on cold half-and-half. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Heat half-and-half mixture over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved and mixture is just beginning to simmer (do not allow to boil). Remove from heat.
• Stir in sugar, vanilla and salt until sugar is dissolved.
• Pour mixture into four 1/2-cup ramekins or 6-oz custard cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 4 hours or until set.
• Meanwhile, make raspberry sauce. In 1-quart saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water and raspberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Strain sauce through a strainer into bowl to remove seeds if desired. Serve sauce warm or cool. Store covered in refrigerator up to 10 days.
• When ready to serve, run thin knife around edge of each panna cotta. Dip bottom of each ramekin into bowl of very hot water for 5 seconds. Immediately place serving plate upside down onto each ramekin; turn plate and ramekin over and remove ramekin. Serve with sauce.

VANILLA PANNA COTTA WITH RHUBARB AND RASPBERRY

Steps:

• In pan, bring rhubarb, raspberries, sugar, and orange juice to simmer, stirring occasionally. Continue simmering as you prepare the panacotta.
• In separate pan, heat cream, milk, and vanilla until gently bubbling. Add orange peel, sugar, and gelatin, and whisk until dissolved. Allow to simmer 5 minutes, then remove orange peel pieces.
• Fruit mixture should be welled stewed by this time. If not, continue to simmer until mushy and quite thick.
• Spoon 1/8 of the fruit mixture into the bottom of each of four small glasses.
• Distribute milk mixture evenly among the glasses, pouring very gently so you don't disturb the fruit.
• Gently spoon 1/4 of the remaining fruit mixture into each glass so that it is heaped in the middle. If a little pokes out the top, even better.
• Set in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 5 hours, or overnight.

• Combine cream, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup milk in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring often. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture and stir until melted. Strain mixture into large glass measuring cup. Stir in Frangelico, if desired. Chill until cold, about 2 hours. Pour into custard cups, cover and chill overnight.
• Run small sharp knife around sides of cups to loosen custards. Invert custards onto plates. Serve with sauce.
