Maple And Pumpkin Panna Cotta Food

PUMPKIN PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Arrange 6 individual serving dishes, such as ramekins or dessert glasses or cups on a rimmed baking sheet. Make room for the baking sheet in your refrigerator.
• Place the water in a shallow bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the cream and brown sugar in a medium pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally to help the sugar dissolve completely, until the cream comes to a bare simmer. Measure out 1/3 cup of the sweetened condensed milk and reserve it; whisk the remainder into the pot, along with the pumpkin pie spice and salt.
• Add the bloomed gelatin to the pot and stir until it is fully dissolved. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the pumpkin puree, sour cream and vanilla. Transfer the mixture to a large heatproof container with a pour spout, such as a liquid measuring cup.
• Divide the mixture among the prepared serving dishes. Refrigerate until fully set, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days (if storing longer than 8 hours, cover loosely with plastic wrap). Once the panna cottas have set, divide the remaining sweetened condensed milk over the portioned panna cottas to create a thin, even layer on each. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

MAPLE AND PUMPKIN PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Peel the ginger and placing it in the freezer to firm up. Fresh ginger will be too fibrous and overpowering.
• Peel and chop the pumpkin into matchbox sized pieces, toss with olive oil and roast at 400* for 30 minutes.
• Mash enough pumpkin to make 1 1/2 cups, grate the frozen ginger over it, and set aside.
• Sprinkle the agar agar into the cold water and bring to a gentle simmer for 4-5 minutes without stirring.
• Throw everything but the agar agar mix into the blender. Blend on high speed, slowly adding the agar mix until all is smooth.
• Pour into ramekins, jam jars, or a large serving container and refrigerate until set.

Steps:

• Put 1/2 cup of the milk in a 6- or 8-cup saucepan, and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, blend together the remaining milk, cream, pumpkin, sugar and cinnamon. The mixture should be perfectly smooth, so it is best to use a blender.
• Turn the heat under the saucepan to low, and cook the milk, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin dissolves. Pour in the cream mixture, and turn the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until steam rises. Turn off the heat, and ladle or pour the mixture into 6 4-ounce ramekins or other containers.
• Chill the panna cotta until firm, and serve, with creme fraiche or whipped cream if you like.
