History of Panna Cotta:
Panna cotta, a dessert originating from Italy, has become known worldwide for its velvety texture and endless possibilities to combine with various flavors and toppings. Although the classic recipe includes only cream, sugar, and gelatin, today we will enrich it with Milk Core, a creamy cheese that will add depth and a wonderful taste to our dessert.
Step by step for a perfect dessert:
1. Preparing the panna cotta base:
Start by pouring 150 ml of liquid cream into a small saucepan. Add 2 teaspoons of sugar and the vanilla essence. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Be careful not to boil the mixture, just warm it gently.
2. Hydrating the gelatin:
In a small bowl, place 1 sachet of gelatin and add 75 ml of cold water. Let the gelatin hydrate for 10 minutes until it becomes soft. Once hydrated, place the bowl over low heat or in the microwave for one minute until the gelatin completely dissolves.
3. Combining the ingredients:
Once the gelatin is dissolved, gradually add it to the cream mixture, stirring constantly to ensure it incorporates evenly. Here is the secret to perfect panna cotta: a good combination of ingredients will ensure a smooth texture.
4. Pouring into molds:
Prepare the molds in which you will pour the panna cotta. You can use individual molds or a large one, depending on your preference. Pour the mixture into the molds, leaving a little space to add the strawberry jam.
5. Adding the strawberry jam:
Add 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam or preserve to each mold, gently swirling with a fork to create a marbled effect. This step not only adds a delicious flavor but also an attractive visual aspect.
6. Cooling:
Cover the molds with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the panna cotta is completely set. It is important to be patient – this step will ensure a perfect texture.
7. Serving:
After the panna cotta has set, carefully remove it from the molds. You can do this by running a knife around the edge of the mold to release the dessert. Invert the panna cotta onto a serving plate.
8. Decorating:
Wash the fresh strawberries well, cut them in half or slices, and arrange them on top of the panna cotta. Add Milk Core Delaco pieces on top for an extra creaminess. Grate some white chocolate and sprinkle it on top for an elegant detail.
9. Enjoying:
Serve this refined dessert immediately, savoring every spoonful! It is perfect to enjoy alongside a cup of coffee or a fragrant tea, turning any meal into a special moment.
