Panna cotta is a classic crowd-pleaser. A good panna cotta that has the perfect wobble can be absolute perfection after a big meal. They are elegant and can be made head of time so you have a stress free dinner. What more could you ask for in a dessert?
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 300ml / 1 1/4 cups thick cream
- 130g / 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
- 3 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
- 300ml / 1 1/4 cups thick Greek yogurt
- 200ml / 7 oz passion-fruit juice, strained
Preparation:
Place cream, 1/2 cup (110g) of the sugar, and the vanilla pod and seeds in a pan
Cook, stirring, over low heat until sugar dissolves
Place 1/2 cup of the mixture in a small bowl, sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the gelatin on top, and place in a pan of simmering water
Stir until gelatin dissolves
Add back to the cream mixture
Cool slightly, whisk in yogurt, then strain
Pour into 4 glass tumblers, leaving space at the top, and refrigerate for 2 hours
Place the passion-fruit juice and the remaining sugar in a saucepan, and sprinkle the remaining gelatin on top
Heat over low heat, gently whisking until the gelatin dissolves
Cool, then strain over top of the panna cotta
Refrigerate for a further 2 hours until set
Enjoy!

I like to add a little tartness to it as I find plain panna cotta rather bland.

Would you believe I ate it for the first time only a few years ago? Was not a dessert I grew up with.

My daughter is gluten intolerant and was diagnosed about 10 years ago. At that point she started snuffling round for alternatives, of course and Panna Cotta fits the bill perfectly as a desert that she can indulge in. I love your version.

Nadia, I’m so pleased you mentioned the wobble. It’s so disappointing when you order panna cotta and there’s no wobble! The passionfruit sounds and looks delicious.

I have never had panna cotta, and I really have no excuse but that I’ve never tried to make it. It looks so good!

I only ate it in recent years too, so do not feel bad. You can make up for it now.
