Description
Panna cotta is one of the simplest desserts to make and it’s guaranteed to impress. We’ve served this slightly softer panna cotta in dessert dishes - if you’d like to turn yours out onto plates, add another leaf of gelatine to make sure it’s set.
This recipe makes 4 panna cotta (500ml total).
- 225ml double cream
- 225ml buttermilk
- 75g caster sugar
- 3 blood oranges
- 1 vanilla pod
- 2 leaves gelatine
- Split the vanilla pod lengthways, scrape out the seeds and add them to a small saucepan with the cream, zest of 3 oranges and the caster sugar. Heat gently until the sugar is dissolved.
- Gently squeeze the excess water from the softened gelatine leaves, then add them to the cream mixture and continue to simmer until dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the buttermilk and juice of 2 oranges.
- Pour the mixture into glasses. Put into the fridge to set for around 2 hours, or overnight.
- Segment the remaining orange and serve the slices with the panna cotta.
