Pretty In Pink Panna Cotta Recipes

Steps:

• Place sixteen 4-ounce ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Split vanilla bean lengthwise with the tip of a sharp knife. Holding the pod open, scrape seeds from each half using the flat side of your knife.
• Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Combine vanilla pods, scraped beans, heavy cream, and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl that will fit snugly into the pot; whisk thoroughly to mix. Place bowl over simmering water; whisk until cream mixture is just warm and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Remove bowl from heat and strain cream mixture using a fine-mesh strainer. Pour out hot water.
• Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water in a small bowl and stir quickly with a large toothpick until granules are separated. Pour gelatin into cream mixture and whisk thoroughly. Let sit until slightly cool, about 20 minutes.
• Whisk buttermilk thoroughly into cream mixture; pour into ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until set, at least 6 hours and preferably overnight.
• Place blueberries in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook until slightly toasted and starting to release their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in orange juice and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until mixture is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until thickened and syrupy, about 30 minutes.
• Run a thin knife around the edges of each ramekin. Invert panna cotta onto serving plates. Serve topped with blueberry topping.

Steps:

• NOTE: You will need a small sieve or strainer.
• Mix together the yogurt and the buttermilk in a medium bowl.
• To create the gelatine, put the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatine over it. Let that sit for 5 minutes, then put it in the microwave on regular power for 30 seconds.
• In another little bowl; mix together the sugar and the vanilla bean paste.
• Using your sieve, mash the 1 TBSP raspberries into the sugar-vanilla bowl to create a puree and keep the seeds out. Mash very hard until all of the raspberries are pureed then scrape the bottom of your sieve of any remaining puree.
• Mix vanilla sugar and raspberry puree together well then pour in (little by little so it is tempered) your gelatine into the mix. Stir to blend.
• Pour the raspberry mix into the yogurt mix and stir well. Pour the mix into little molds or teacups for a cute presentation.
• Chill the dishes in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Serve in cute dishes or you may unmold them by dipping the dishes into hot water for 1 second then invert onto a serving plate.
• Garnish with the rest of the raspberries.

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup milk and basil sprigs in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover, remove from heat, and let steep 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, sprinkle 2 teaspoons gelatin over remaining 1/2 cup milk. In a heatproof bowl, sprinkle remaining 3 teaspoons gelatin over 1/2 cup grapefruit juice.
• Let both mixtures stand until gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Strain milk-basil mixture, discarding sprigs. Pour over milk-gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin has dissolved, then whisk in yogurt until smooth. Wipe pan clean.
• Combine 3/4 cup grapefruit juice and honey in saucepan. Heat over medium-high, stirring, until honey dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling. Pour over grapefruit-gelatin mixture, stirring until gelatin has dissolved. Stir in remaining 1 3/4 cups grapefruit juice.
• Divide grapefruit mixture evenly among eight 6-to-8-ounce ramekins, gratin dishes, or shallow bowls. Refrigerate until mixture begins to thicken and mound slightly but isn't set, 45 to 55 minutes. (Do not refrigerate yogurt mixture.)
• Carefully divide yogurt mixture evenly among ramekins, pouring it in from edge (not center) of each dish to create a random swirl effect. Refrigerate until both mixtures are cold and set, about 4 hours or, covered, up to 3 days. Before serving, top with grapefruit supremes, basil leaves, and a sprinkle of salt.

Steps:

• In a very small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand about 1 minute to soften. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat until gelatin is dissolved and remove pan from heat.
• In a large saucepan bring cream, half and half, and sugar just to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring. Remove pan from heat and stir in gelatin mixture and vanilla. Divide cream mixture among eight 1/2-cup ramekins and cool to room temperature. Chill ramekins, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Dip ramekins, 1 at a time, into a bowl of hot water 3 seconds. Run a thin knife around edge of each ramekin and invert ramekin onto center of a small plate.
