Description

Panna cotta (in Italian means, cooked cream) is originally made by blending thick cream, egg white and honey. The blend is then baked in a bain-marie in a low oven. The original panna cotta really does feel and taste like "cooked cream," but requires very careful monitoring of oven temperatures and timing.Hence alternatively outside Italy,it is made by simmering together cream, milk, and sugar and mixing this with gelatin, and letting it cool until set.

Method

1) Sprinkle gelatin on water. Keep aside till the the gelatin soaks up water.
2) Mix milk, cream, sugar and boil stirring constantly. Remove from fire.
3) In another pan on low flame, add gelatin mix and keep stirring till it dissolves completely. 4) Gelatin will start liquifying as soon as it gets heated, so keep stirring. As soon as gelatin melts, add to the cream mixture and stir till mixed well.
5) Pour into glass bowls. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for about 4 hours or till set.
6) To unmould, dip the glass bowl in hot water for about 15 seconds and unmould. Serve with any fruit sauce. I served with strawberry sauce.
