Easy Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta Recipes

Steps:

• Place the cream in a saucepan. Halve the vanilla bean lengthwise; scrape out the seeds with a knife, then add the seeds and pod to the saucepan. Add the sugar and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Discard the vanilla pod.
• Sprinkle the gelatin over the milk in a bowl and let stand until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes. Stir the gelatin mixture into the hot cream mixture until dissolved, then stir in the yogurt. Divide among six to eight 4-ounce ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Dip each ramekin three-quarters of the way in warm water and invert onto a plate. Garnish each panna cotta with strawberries and mint, if desired.

Steps:

• .Pour the cream into a medium saucepan. Using the sharp tip of a paring knife, cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Open up the bean and flatten out the halves. Scrape out the seeds with the back of the knife blade and add the seeds and vanilla bean to the saucepan. Stir in the sugar. Bring the cream mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally. Remove the vanilla bean from the cream and discard.
• Meanwhile, pour the milk into a bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Let stand about 5 minutes and then mix the milk into the hot cream. Add in the yogurt and stir until smooth. Pour mixture into ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
• NOTE: This recipe serves six to eight people depending on the size of your ramekins. I usually fill mine generously and end up with six servings.
• TIP: You can make this recipe for Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta up to three days in advance - perfect for parties!

Steps:

• Sprinkle gelatin over the water. The gelatin will absorb the water and dissolve, in a process called "blooming."
• In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream with sugar and cook over medium until it's at the scalding point, or just under a boil.
• Once the cream has almost reached the boiling point, remove from heat and add vanilla extract and bloomed gelatin. Stir until fully dissolved.
• Strain panna cotta mixture into desired serving tempered glasses.
• Allow cream to come to room temperature before chilling in the fridge for 2-4 hours, or until the cream is firm in texture.
• Top with berries and honey.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In large bowl, add gelatin to cold milk and let soften.
• In saucepan, combine whipping cream, second amount of milk, sugar and vanilla and bring to a boil. Pour over gelatin mixture and stir until completely dissolved. Set bowl over very cold water and chill 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally, until almost set. Pour mixture into 8 individual 1/2 cup ramekins and store in fridge until completely set. Cover with plastic wrap if making the night before.
• To serve, quickly dip ramekins in warm water to loosen sides. Invert onto individual serving plates and shake to release. Cut fruit into small pieces and arrange on each plate around panna cotta. In the photo in the cookbook, they have a small pile of each kind of fruit around the panna cotta.

Steps:

• Add the cashews to a medium bowl. Pour in enough warm water to completely cover the cashews, then soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Drain.
• Grease 4 4-ounce ramekins with coconut oil and set aside.
• Add the cashews to a blender with the water and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes, or until very creamy.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cashew cream, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds. Warm slowly, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is simmering.
• Add the agar agar to the hot water and stir until there are no lumps and the agar agar is fully dissolved.
• Pour the agar mixture into the warm cashew cream and whisk to combine. Increase the heat to medium, bring to a gentle boil, and whisk continuously for 3 minutes, until thickened. Remove the cream from the heat and immediately divide between the greased ramekins. Smooth the tops.
• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until ready to serve. (The agar will set at room temperature, but chilling the panna cotta in the fridge will expedite the process.)
• When ready to serve, use an offset spatula or butter knife to carefully work around the edges of the ramekins to loosen the panna cotta. Invert onto serving plates and garnish with fresh berries.
• Enjoy!
