Greek Honey & Yogurt Panna Cotta image

From: New York's 25: Taste Of Greece - Oct 16-Nov 18, 2006. "I had a dessert about 10 years ago at a Greek restaurant on Ninth Ave.," says pastry chef Kate Zuckerman "I was astonished by how simple it was. A small ramekin of strained yogurt topped with some honey. To this day I am constantly playing with this flavor combination in my desserts." - Chef Kate Zuckerman of Chanterelle "Serving Suggestions: These custards can be served with a crisp wafer or cookie or some fresh seasonal fruit (raspberries, blueberries, figs, melon, peaches, pineapple or strawberries)." Prep time is a guess, Cook time is chilling time.

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup honey, plus more for serving
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place cream and sugar in a medium saucepan. With a paring knife, split vanilla bean lengthwise; scrape out seeds, and add to cream along with empty pod (if using vanilla extract, add to yogurt mixture in step 4).
  • Bring cream to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cover pan, remove from heat, and set aside to steep, at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place 1/2 cup cold water in a small bowl, and sprinkle gelatin over water; set aside to soften, at least 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk yogurt, honey, and salt until combined; set aside.
  • Return cream to a boil. Remove from heat, and immediately stir in softened gelatin until dissolved. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into yogurt-honey mixture; mix until combined.
  • Divide mixture among eight 4- to 6-ounce ramekins. Chill until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
  • To serve, unmold each panna cotta from its ramekin: Run a paring knife around the top inner edge of ramekin, then dip bottom of ramekin in a bowl of boiling water for 10 seconds. Invert ramekin onto serving plate. Holding ramekin tightly to plate, shake firmly to release panna cotta. Drizzle with honey before serving.
