Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 packet (1 teaspoon) unflavored gelatin powder
1 1/2 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
1/3 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
2 pints (4 cups) sliced fresh strawberries

1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated lemon zest, for serving

Steps:

Heat the remaining 3/4 cup of cream and the 1/3 cup of sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Off the heat, add the softened gelatin to the hot cream and stir to dissolve. Pour the hot cream-gelatin mixture into the cold cream-yogurt mixture and stir to combine. Pour into 4 (6 to 8-ounce) ramekins or custard cups and refrigerate uncovered until cold. When the panna cottas are thoroughly chilled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and pepper 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Set aside at room temperature.

Time 6h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick spray, for greasing ramekins
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
4 strips lemon peel
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 cups creme fraiche, room temperature
1 cup good-quality balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 large carton strawberries, trimmed and quartered

Steps:

  • 1. Grease 4 (1-cup) size ramekins with nonstick spray to evenly coat the insides.
  • 2. Begin by adding milk, cream and sugar to a pot and set over medium heat. Add vanilla bean and seeds and 4 strips of lemon peel (try not to get any of the white pith). Bring to a simmer. Once the mixture begins to bubble, turn off the heat.
  • 3. While the mixture is heating, combine the gelatin and lemon juice, whisking as you go to avoid lumps. Temper the gelatin with about 1/2 cup of the heated milk/cream mixture and whisk back into the remaining mixture. Strain cream mixture using a fine mesh strainer, into a bowl and discard the vanilla pod and lemon peel. Add the creme fraiche and gently whisk to combine the mixture. Distribute evenly among the ramekins and place in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours or until they are set.
  • 4. In a small saucepan reduce balsamic vinegar over low heat until slightly syrupy 5 to 7 minutes. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
  • 5. Remove the ramekins from the refrigerator and top with quartered strawberries. Drizzle the tops with the balsamic syrup and serve.

Yield Makes six 4-inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
Vegetable oil, for brushing
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, if needed
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pate Sucree for Tarts
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved lengthwise or quartered if large
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Sprinkle gelatin over 3 tablespoons water; let soften 10 minutes. Brush insides of six 5-ounce ramekins or custard cups (3 1/4 inches in diameter) with oil.
  • Bring cream and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low; add gelatin mixture. Cook, stirring, until gelatin and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat. Whisk in creme fraiche and vanilla. Pour into a medium bowl set in an ice-water bath. Let cool completely, stirring occasionally. Divide mixture among ramekins. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours, or up to 1 day.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment, and place six 4-inch tart rings on top. Divide dough into 6 pieces. One at a time, roll out each piece into a 7-inch circle (1/8 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Press each into a tart ring; trim flush with top edge of ring. Refrigerate tart shells until cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prick bottoms of tart shells all over with fork. Line each with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges are golden, about 18 minutes. Remove parchment and weights; continue baking until surfaces are golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
  • Heat berries, remaining 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar (depending on sweetness of berries), and vinegar in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, until juicy, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Unmold panna cottas: Dip ramekins in warm water; pat dry. Run a small knife around edge of each panna cotta; gently coax, and invert onto a tart shell. Top with berries and sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. If strawberries are not in season, you can use frozen or thawed berries.
  • Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up faster and produce a stiffer consistency.
  • If you don't have a blowtorch, you can use a kitchen torch or even a lighter to caramelize the sugar on top of the panna cotta.
  • Be careful not to overcook the balsamic vinegar reduction. It should be thick and syrupy, but not too thick or it will be difficult to pour.
  • Serve the panna cotta immediately, or chill it for up to 24 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

This panna cotta recipe is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy panna cotta is perfectly complemented by the sweet and tart strawberries and balsamic vinegar reduction. This dessert is sure to impress your guests, and it's easy to make too!
