Best Honey Nut Panna Cotta Recipes

PANNA COTTA WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Place the cream, vanilla bean, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat.
• Remove the vanilla bean and split lengthwise. Scrape the vanilla beans into the cream.
• Squeeze the gelatin leaves to remove any excess water, then add them to the pan, stirring constantly about 30 seconds, or until the gelatin is melted.
• Drizzle about 2 teaspoons honey into the bottom of 6 (4-ounce) molds. Ladle the cream mixture into each. Refrigerate for several hours, until thoroughly chilled.
• To remove from the mold: Dip the bottom of the mold into a pot of hot water to loosen the panna cotta. Slide a knife around the edge, then carefully turn over onto a serving plate. Drizzle with the remaining honey and garnish with hazelnuts, if desired.

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.

RICOTTA PANNA COTTA WITH NECTARINES AND HONEY RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour 1/4 cup cold water into a small saucepan and sprinkle gelatin evenly over; let sit 10 minutes to soften.
• Meanwhile, coat a 9"-diameter pie or cake pan with a thin film of oil; set aside. Combine ricotta, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1 cup half-and-half in a food processor.
• When gelatin is softened, add remaining 1/2 cup half-and-half to saucepan and set over low heat. Cook, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until gelatin is completely dissolved (do not let mixture boil). Scrape mixture into food processor and process until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour into prepared pan and chill until set, at least 4 hours (cover loosely with plastic wrap after 1 hour).
• Run a butter knife or small offset spatula around sides of panna cotta to loosen the edge and break the suction.
• Fill a baking dish or similar vessel with hot water. Lower bottom of mold into water 5 seconds, then lift it back out.
• Press a serving plate firmly over top. Quickly invert in one motion; set plate down. Use knife or spatula to gently lift up mold.
• Top with nectarines; drizzle with honey and oil.
• Panna cotta (without nectarines, honey, and oil) can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

STRAWBERRY PANNA COTTA WITH STRAWBERRIES AND HONEY

Steps:

• Puree 2 cups strawberries in processor until smooth. Pour puree through strainer, pressing with rubber spatula to extract as much puree as possible; reserve strained puree. Discard seeds in strainer.
• Whisk low-fat milk, whipping cream and sugar in heavy medium saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over; let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Whisk mixture constantly over very low heat just until gelatin dissolves and mixture is lukewarm, about 3 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Whisk in pureed strawberries and vanilla extract. Divide mixture among six ‟-cup ramekins or custard cups. Refrigerate until panna cotta is set, at least 3 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining 2 cups strawberry halves. Gently toss remaining 2 cups strawberry halves and honey in medium bowl to blend. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Run small sharp knife between panna cotta and ramekins to loosen. Dip bottom of ramekins into bowl of hot water 30 seconds. Invert each panna cotta onto plate, shaking gently to unmold. Spoon strawberry-honey mixture over and serve.
