Coffee Panna Cotta Recipes

Steps:

• Place cream, milk and instant coffee granules in a small saucepan. Add cinnamon stick and sugar. Stir over medium-low heat until mixture comes to a gradual boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla paste.
• Stir gelatin into hot water and mix until dissolved. Add dissolved gelatin to the coffee cream mixture.
• Pour mixture through a fine sieve strainer into 6 x 125ml individual moulds, and cover each mould with cling-film wrap. Leave in the refrigerator to set and chill overnight.
• To serve, run a blunt knife or spatula around the rim of each mould, then place the moulds in warm water for 10 seconds. Unmould panna cotta into a serving dish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let soak about 10 minutes (do not stir). Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat the milk, vanilla bean, ground coffee, and sugar to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. As soon as it simmers, turn off the heat and add the gelatin mixture, stirring to dissolve the gelatin. If the gelatin doesn't completely dissolve in 3 minutes, return the mixture to the heat and warm gently until dissolved. Strain through a fine strainer or chinois. Pour the mixture into 6 to 8 ramekins or dessert cups. Chill, uncovered for 2 hours. Dip the cups in hot water for 10 seconds, then turn the panna cottas out onto dessert plates (or, serve in the cups).

Steps:

• Combine the cream, sugar and coffee in a small saucepan. Sprinkle the powdered gelatin on top and allow to sit for at least 3 minutes to soften ( if it doesn't become moist, stir into the mixture and then allow to sit).
• Once the gelatin has softened, stir well to combine all the ingredients.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until bubbles form around the edges.
• Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or a strainer lined with cheesecloth.
• Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
• Divide the panna cotta mixture among 6 small custard cups.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap ( making sure that the wrap does not touch the panna cotta's surface) and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
• Serve cold, garnished with chocolate coffee beans or regular coffee beans.

Steps:

• Place the milk in a heavy, small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over and let stand for 5 minutes to soften the gelatin. Stir over medium heat just until the gelatin dissolves, but the milk does not boil, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, espresso powder, sugar, and salt. Stir over low heat, until the sugar dissolves, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Pour the cream mixture into 2 martini glasses, dividing equally. Cover and refrigerate, stirring every 20 minutes during the first hour. Chill until set, at least 6 hours and up to 2 days.
• When ready to serve, use a vegetable peeler on the chocolate blocks to create about 1 tablespoon each of the white and dark chocolate shavings. Sprinkle the shavings over each panna cotta and serve.
