Honey Panna Cotta Recipes

Steps:

• Dissolve the gelatin in 2 tablespoons warm water and set aside to bloom.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, bring the gelatin mixture, cream, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and cereal to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let steep for 5 minutes to marry the flavors.
• Place the yogurt in a large bowl. Strain the milk mixture over the yogurt and whisk to combine. Divide among eight 1/2-cup parfait glasses or ramekins and chill for at least 2 hours.
• Combine the strawberries, lemon juice and sugar in a small bowl, and let macerate while the panna cotta sets.
• Serve the panna cotta with the macerated berries.

Steps:

• Prepare six dariole or timbale moulds by brushing lightly with almond oil or a very light tasting oil. (I have used cooking spray successfully). Place the moulds on a tray- this makes it easier later with transferring to the refrigerator.
• Sprinkle the gelatine over the warm water and microwave on medium for 30 seconds, or until the gelatine has dissolved.
• In a seperate bowl, heat the milk and honey on High for 2 minutes.
• Strain the gelatine mix into the hot milk/honey mixture. Quickly stir to combine.
• Whisk in the cream and a couple of drops of vanilla essence.
• Pour the custrad into your moulds. Loosely cover with plastic cling wrap. Chill for at least 4 hours.
• Remove from fridge approx 30 mins prior to serving. I usually do this as we are about to eat our main meal.
• To serve- remove pannacotta from moulds. Lightly brush the top of the custard with water. Run a small bladed knife around the outside of the ustard. Invert onto plates and serve with your choice of fruits, sauce, berry coulis or a drizzle of honey.
• If the custard did not centre on the plate when removed from the mould, you should be able to slide it over (that was the reason for the brushing of water).

Steps:

• Place cream and sugar in a medium saucepan. With a paring knife, split vanilla bean lengthwise; scrape out seeds, and add to cream along with empty pod (if using vanilla extract, add to yogurt mixture in step 4).
• Bring cream to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cover pan, remove from heat, and set aside to steep, at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place 1/2 cup cold water in a small bowl, and sprinkle gelatin over water; set aside to soften, at least 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk yogurt, honey, and salt until combined; set aside.
• Return cream to a boil. Remove from heat, and immediately stir in softened gelatin until dissolved. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into yogurt-honey mixture; mix until combined.
• Divide mixture among eight 4- to 6-ounce ramekins. Chill until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
• To serve, unmold each panna cotta from its ramekin: Run a paring knife around the top inner edge of ramekin, then dip bottom of ramekin in a bowl of boiling water for 10 seconds. Invert ramekin onto serving plate. Holding ramekin tightly to plate, shake firmly to release panna cotta. Drizzle with honey before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven until fragrant, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Let cool slightly, and then coarsely chop.
• Combine almonds with cream, honey, saffron, lemon zest, and salt in a saucepan. Bring just to a boil, stirring to dissolve honey. Remove from heat. Cover, and set aside to infuse 1 hour.
• Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Bring cream mixture to a simmer. Add gelatin mixture, and stir to dissolve. Pour through a sieve into a bowl. Stir in milk. Divide among nine 2-ounce (2 1/2 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches deep) ramekins. Refrigerate panna cottas until set, at least 4 hours (or up to 1 day).
• To unmold, dip ramekins into hot water briefly, making sure water does not reach rim. Run a knife around edge of each panna cotta, and invert onto a plate. Drizzle with honey. Serve with cookies.
