Panna Cotta with Fruit Compote

Shop Ingredients

Ingredients

2 tbs water
2 tsp gelatine powder (or agar agar – see pack for correct qty)
2 cups (500ml) creamy milk or cream of your choice – full fat is best but not essential
⅓ cup (55g) sugar
1 citrus fruit such as orange, lemon, lime, mandarin

Summary

This beautifully simple and delicious dessert is a wonderful way to use up excess milks/creams and citrus peel. Try changing up the flavours and adding different types of fruits. You can use any plant-based dairy alternatives and agar agar to make it vegan. This recipe was provided by Open Table, thanks Alanna!


Panna Cotta
Makes 4-6

Mix the water with the gelatine in a small bowl. Stand for 5 minutes
Pour the cream, sugar, and rind into a saucepan and heat over medium, stirring until sugar is dissolved
Add the gelatine mixture and stir until dissolved.
Pour into 4-6 cups, jars or ramekins – or strain first if you only want the infused panna cotta

Enjoy by itself or with pureed, stewed fruit, crumble topping etc. If you have some fruit compote or jam, try dolloping some into the bottom of the jar/ramekin first for a sweet surprise!
