Panna Cotta with Lemon-Thyme Peaches image

Though we can appreciate the beauty of a panna cotta that's been turned out of its mold, the light-as-air texture of these, just set enough to melt in the mouth, will have you happy to eat them right from the cup. Yogurt gives the almond-infused cream a little tang, and peaches that have been macerated with lemon thyme just long enough to meld and soften seem to exist expressly for this dessert.

Yield Makes 4 Serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

For panna cotta:
1 1/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-ounce envelope)
2 tablespoon water
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/4 cup mild honey
1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract
For peaches:
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon-thyme leaves
1 tablespoon sugar
3 peaches, peeled if desired, pitted, and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make panna cotta:
  • Sprinkle gelatin over water in a small heavy saucepan and let stand 1 minute to soften. Stir in cream and 1/8 tsp salt, then heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring, until gelatin has dissolved.
  • Whisk together yogurt, honey, and almond extract, then whisk in cream mixture.
  • Pour mixture into 4 small bowls and chill, covered, until set, at least 8 hours.
  • Prepare peaches:
  • Mince lemon thyme with sugar, then toss with peaches. Let macerate, stirring occasionally, at room temperature 20 minutes. While peaches macerate, let panna cotta stand at room temperature.
  • To serve:
  • Top bowls of panna cotta with peaches and their juice. Drizzle with additional honey if desired.

I'm not a fan of panna cotta, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The panna cotta was light and fluffy, and the lemon thyme syrup was the perfect accompaniment. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great starting point for panna cotta, but I would recommend making a few changes. I would use less sugar in the panna cotta base, and I would add a bit of vanilla extract for flavor. I would also recommend using fresh peaches instead

I followed the recipe exactly, but my panna cotta did not turn out well. The texture was grainy, and the flavors were bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This panna cotta was good, but not great. The texture was a bit too firm for my taste, and the flavors were not as intense as I had hoped. I think I would prefer a more traditional panna cotta recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of peaches, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The panna cotta was light and fluffy, and the lemon thyme syrup was the perfect accompaniment. I will definitely be making this again, even without the peaches
