Marbled Berry Panna Cotta Food

BERRY PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Cut the rind from 1/4 lemon into long strips. Place strips in a saucepan with cream and confectioners' sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Set aside to steep for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine milk and gelatin in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Reheat the cream mixture until hot. Remove from heat. Stir in gelatin mixture and vanilla extract. Remove lemon rind. Pour into 8 ramekins and refrigerate until set, about 1 to 2 hours.
• To serve, arrange strawberry slices and raspberries on top of each custard.

PANNA COTTA WITH FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• Place the milk in a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the gelatin. Pour milk mixture into a heavy saucepan and stir over medium heat just until the gelatin dissolves but the milk does not boil, about 5 minutes. Add the cream, honey, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour into 6 wine glasses so that they are 1/2 full. Cool slightly. Refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours.
• Spoon the berries atop the panna cotta and serve.

PANNA COTTA WITH BERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the panna cotta: Heat the cream, vanilla extract and vanilla bean in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until milk bubbles form at the sides of the pan, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl dissolve the gelatin in 3 tablespoons hot tap water. Stir until the gelatin completely dissolves, about 1 minute.
• Stir the sugar into the hot cream. Add the salt and the gelatin mixture to the cream as well. Whisk until the sugar dissolves, then whisk in the milk and stir again. Pour into the ramekins.
• Refrigerate the panna cotta until set, at least 4 hours. Stored in the refrigerator, the panna cotta keeps for several days.
• For the berry sauce: In a medium saucepot set over medium heat, add the berries, sugar, lemon juice and zest. Bring to a boil and cook until the berries burst and the liquid starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, forcing the berries through by pushing and scraping with a rubber spatula. The more you force through, the thicker the sauce will be (the pulp closest to the seeds contains the most pectin, which is a natural thickener). Let cool completely and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Spoon the sauce over the panna cotta and serve.

Divide cream mixture among eight 1/2-cup ramekins and cool to room temperature. Chill ramekins, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Dip ramekins, 1 at a time, into a bowl of hot water 3 seconds. Run a thin knife around edge of each ramekin and invert ramekin onto center of a small plate.

MASTERCHEF VANILLA PANNA COTTA WITH MIXED BERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak the gelatine leaf in warm water. When it's soft, squeeze the excess water out.
• Put the cream, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan and heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. When it is bubbling around the edge and just about to boil, take it off the heat and add the gelatine leaf. Stir till fully dissolved.
• Pour into two ramekins and put in the fridge. They will need a minimum of two hours to set.
• Make the sauce by putting all the berries, sugar and water into a small saucepan. Bring to the boil and reduce till the sauce is syrupy and the berries are beginning to break down.
• To serve, fill a saucepan with boiling water from the kettle. Hold the ramekin in the pan for about 20 seconds. Turn the ramekin over onto a plate and the panna cotta should fall out. Spoon some sauce onto the side. If serving the sauce warm then serve immediately as it will begin to melt the panna cotta.
