Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 300 ml Whipping / heavy cream 10 oz. cream / 1 1/4 cup
- 100 ml Milk 3.5 oz. / 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp
- 100 gms Sugar 3.5 oz. / 1/2 cup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract / essence I used 1 Vanilla bean
- 2 tsp Gelatine powder refer notes if you are using gelatine sheets, refer notes for veg substitute
- 1 pinch Sea salt
For Praline
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Nuts I used walnuts, you can use cashew, almonds, praline, macadamia..
Instructions
- Dissolve 2 tsp gelatine in 100 ml hot water and keep it aside.
- Microwave milk, cream and vanilla essence / vanilla bean paste for 40 seconds. Give it a stir and microwave again for 30 seconds.
- Put the sugar with 1 tbsp water, in a heavy bottomed saucepan and melt it on medium heat until it becomes a dark amber colour. Do not stir, but if lumps start forming swirl the pan around.
- Carefully add the warm cream mixture stirring it into the caramel and keep it on the fire (it may solidify at this point, so keep stirring and the caramel will melt again).
- Add the dissolved gelatine and mix well. Add sea salt and mix.
- Strain the mixture into glasses/moulds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving. Sprinkle the praline over the set panna cotta, before serving.
- To make praline:
- Add 1 tbsp water to the sugar and let it melt. Once it becomes a dark amber colour, add chopped nuts. Mix it, so that the nuts are coated with the caramel. Pour the mixture over al.foil or baking paper and let it cool. Once it's cooled, powder it using a rolling pin. Sprinkle it over the set panacotta, before serving.
Notes
Gelatine sheets - If you are using gelatine sheets, you will need 3 sheets. Put the gelatine sheets in a bowl filled with cold water for 10 minutes or until soft. Squeeze the excess water from the gelatine sheets and add them to the hot caramel cream. Mix well until completely incorporated.
You can use agar agar or china grass instead of gelatine. Use same qty of gelatine ie 2 tsp china grass powder.
I got 2 big size serving and 4 small size serving from the above qty.
