Hello my Foodie Friends. Hope you all are enjoying the festive season and relishing upon the baked goodies. If you’re still finalizing the dessert for your Holiday party I have got a very crowd pleasing recipe for you and i.e. Strawberry & Vanilla Pannacotta.
Pannacotta is an Italian dessert which means cooked cream. Traditionally it is made from milk, cream, sugar and gelatin. It is generally served chilled and topped with chocolate, caramel sauce or fruits of your choice. You can enjoy this dessert as it is just spoon up and indulge yourself in it's silky smooth texture.
These days we can easily find gelatin in our local grocery stores unlike earlier; people would use egg-whites instead. So, if you are not in favor of using gelatin you can always replace gelatin with egg whites but in that case you need to bake it. Having gelatin in your pantry makes your life easy and you can make really gorgeous looking desserts instantly.
I used Strawberries but you can always use fruit of your choice or replace it with chocolate the options are endless! So let's begin with the recipe:
Ingredients:
1. Milk: 1 cup
2. Cream: 1 cup
3. Sugar: 1 cup
4. Vanilla Extract: 1 tbsp
5. Fresh Strawberries: 1 cup
6. Unflavored Gelatin: 2 packet
Method:
1. In a pan pour the milk and cream. Boil it on medium-low heat. Keep stirring so that it doesn't stick to the bottom.
2. Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the milk-cream mixture and cook it for 5-6 mins. Check the sweetness and adjust accordingly. Pour vanilla extract and give a nice mix.
3. Take few teaspoons of hot milk-cream mixture in a small bowl and add the gelatin to the mixture and stir continuously until the gelatin gets dissolved completely.
4. Strain the mixture with the help of a strainer so that any undissolved pieces of gelatin can be removed and we a silky smooth texture.
5. Pour this mixture into individual glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until it sets.
6. In the meanwhile take the strawberries and sugar in the blender and puree it. Strain it through a strainer to discard the seeds.
7. Once the milk-cream mixture is set completely take them out of the refrigerator.
8. Dissolve the other packet of gelatin in hot water.
9. Mix gelatin with the strawberry puree and again strain it so that any undissolved pieces of gelatin can be removed and we a silky smooth texture.
10. Pour the mixture into the glasses. Refrigerate it for another 2-3 hours or until the mixture sets completely.
11. When you are ready to serve garnish it the way you like. Enjoy!!
