Buttermilk Panna Cotta With Macerated Strawberries Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the half-and-half, sugar, vanilla pods, vanilla seeds and pinch of salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar and avoid scorching the milk. Reduce the heat and add the gelatin and buttermilk. Strain through a fine sieve, removing the vanilla pods and any milk solids.
• Pour mixture into 8 small ramekins and let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Transfer to fridge and chill for 3 hours. To serve, briefly dip the bottoms of the ramekins in warm water and invert onto dessert plates.
• BYOC: Top with your favorite fresh berries when in season. If you have the time, try and make a creamy caramel sauce by using sugar, water and half-and-half. Be creative and swipe the plate in a creative pattern. Let your inner artist come out.

Steps:

• For the panna cotta: Soften gelatin in cold water until it is the consistency of plastic wrap (approximately 5 minutes). Combine cream and sugar, and bring to scald. Remove from the heat; add softened gelatin, which has been squeezed dry of all excess water. Add buttermilk. Pass through a fine mesh strainer. Divide among ramekins. Refrigerate until set (approximately 4 hours).
• For the strawberries: Combine strawberries and sugar and macerate for approximately 1/2 hour. Afterward, strain the strawberries, reserving the juice and macerated berries separately.
• Serve panna cotta topped with strawberry liquid spooned on top and with macerated strawberries.

Steps:

• Place six 3/4-cup custard cups on small baking sheet. Combine 1/3 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons water in heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 8 minutes. Immediately pour caramel into custard cups, dividing equally; tilt cups to cover bottoms evenly (caramel layer will be thin). Cool until caramel is set.
• Pour 1/4 cup whipping cream into small bowl; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Combine remaining 6 tablespoons sugar and remaining 1 3/4 cups cream in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring just to simmer. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture and whisk until gelatin dissolves. Strain mixture into 4-cup glass measuring cup. Whisk in buttermilk. Divide mixture among caramel-lined custard cups. Refrigerate panna cotta uncovered overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled.)
• Toss strawberries and brown sugar in large bowl. Let stand until juices form, about 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Run small knife between panna cotta and custard cups to loosen. Invert onto plates. Using rubber spatula, scrape any caramel remaining on bottom of cups over panna cotta. Spoon sweetened strawberries alongside and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle gelatin over cold water; stir and let sit 5 or 10 minutes until it thickens and becomes rubbery.
• Pour heavy cream into a saucepan. Whisk in sugar. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture just barely starts to simmer, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemon peel as mixture is coming up to temperature. As small bubbles begin to appear here and there, remove pan from heat. Add tiny pinch of salt, vanilla, and bloomed gelatin. Whisk until gelatin melts into the cream mixture. Add buttermilk and lemon juice; whisk until blended.
• Strain through fine sieve to remove zest and any lumps. Pour into serving dishes or ramekins. Allow to cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 5 hours or, ideally, overnight.

Steps:

• Lightly oil 10 (1/2-cup) ramekins and set aside.
• In medium heatproof bowl set over pot of simmering water, heat 1 1/2 cups buttermilk and gelatin, stirring constantly, until gelatin melts, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In heavy, large saucepan over moderately low heat, whisk together cream and sugar. Bring to simmer and cook, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved, about 7 to 9 minutes. Slowly whisk buttermilk-gelatin mixture into cream mixture, then whisk in remaining 1 1/2 cups buttermilk. Divide mixture among ramekins, cover, and chill until set, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• When ready to serve, dip ramekins, 1 at a time, into bowl of hot water for 3 seconds. Run thin knife around edge of each ramekin and invert ramekin onto center of shallow bowl. Shake gently to release panna cotta. Top each with 2 tablespoons strawberry jam and garnish with sprig of mint.

Steps:

• Place 3/4 cup of cream in a bowl.
• Sprinkle over powdered gelatine, stir to combine.
• Set aside for 5 minutes till absorbed.
• Heat remaining cream, buttermilk, icing sugar and vanilla over medium heat.
• Stir till sugar dissolves then add gelatine cream.
• Stir till dissolved, strain and pour into lightly greased 7 cup mould or Bundt tin.
• Refrigerate till set.
• Dip mould into boiling water for 30 seconds before turning out onto a plate to serve.

Steps:

• In the top of a double boiler (not over heat), sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup buttermilk; let stand to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring cream and scant 1/2 cup sugar to a boil. Add to gelatin mixture. Place over simmering water; whisk until gelatin dissolves, 5 minutes. Stir in remaining cup buttermilk. Pass mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer. Divide among 6 four-ounce ramekins or small bowls on a baking sheet. Cover; refrigerate until set, 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle strawberries with remaining sugar; let stand about 1 hour.
• Unmold by dipping ramekins briefly into hot water and running tip of a knife around edges; invert onto plates, and serve with strawberries and their juice.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the cream, sugar, and vanilla.
• Heat until warm (about 140 degrees F) or until vanilla has had enough time to steep and sugar is dissolved.
• While cream is heating, dissolve the gelatin in about 1/4 cup of room temperature water, in a medium bowl.
• Once cream has heated sufficiently, pour the mixture over the gelatin in the bowl and stir until fully dissolved.
• Stir in the buttermilk slowly, until just combined.
• Divide into 8 ramekins, and chill for 2 hours, or until set.
