Panna Cotta With Ginger Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Lightly oil or spray 4 4-ounce ramekins, and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cream, sugar and ginger. Whisk until sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat.
• In medium bowl, combine the gelatin with 3 tablespoons water. Add cream mixture to the gelatin, pouring it through a fine strainer if ginger has not thoroughly dissolved in the cream. Whisk until the gelatin has dissolved.
• Pour the mixture into ramekins. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, 4 to 6 hours. (Do not chill more than 12 hours or the panna cotta will become rubbery.)
• To serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of each panna cotta. Place ramekin upside down on a serving plate and tap bottom with knife; panna cotta should fall out. If it doesn't, use knife tip to release panna cotta from bottom. Garnish with ginger syrup - warm, room temperature or cool - and a few grinds of pepper.

Steps:

• Pour the coconut milk and milk into a saucepan, then add the sugar. Split the vanilla pod in half and scrape out the seeds, then add to the pan with the empty pod. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 5 mins.
• Spoon 200ml of the hot mixture into a small bowl. Shake over the gelatine and whisk into the mixture until dissolved. If you have difficulty dissolving the gelatine, return the mixture to a gentle heat for 1-2 mins. See know-how below).Stir into the rest of the coconut mixture, discarding the vanilla pod. Pour into 6 x 200ml metal dariole moulds and place in the fridge for at least 2 hrs until firm with a slight wobble. Can be made up to 2 days ahead.
• For the salsa, tip the sugar and ginger slices into a small saucepan and pour over 100ml water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for another 5-10 mins until it turns slightly syrupy and light golden. Leave to cool, then discard the ginger slices. The syrup can be made up to 1 week in advance.
• To serve, dip each dariole mould into boiling water for a moment to loosen the panna cotta, then turn onto a serving late. Arrange the sliced pineapple beside each panna cotta and scatter with chopped chilli. Drizzle with ginger syrup to finish.

Steps:

• Pour milk into a small bowl, and stir in the gelatin powder. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, stir together the heavy cream and sugar, and set over medium heat. Bring to a full boil, watching carefully, as the cream will quickly rise to the top of the pan. Pour the gelatin and milk into the cream, stirring until completely dissolved. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and pour into six individual ramekin dishes.
• Cool the ramekins uncovered at room temperature. When cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare the panna cotta: Place six 3 1/2-ounce ramekins (3 inches in diameter, 1 1/2 inches deep) on a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate until cold. Put 3 tablespoons cool water into a medium bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin; let stand until gelatin has softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir together cream and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar, until bubbles form at edges, about 2 minutes. Pour cream mixture into bowl with gelatin; whisk until gelatin has dissolved. Stir in milk. Pour through a sieve into a bowl. Pour cream mixture into chilled ramekins. Refrigerate on baking sheet until set, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the syrup.
• To serve, dip one ramekin in a bowl of hot water for 20 seconds; make sure water does not reach the rim. Invert panna cotta onto a dessert plate, gently shaking and tapping ramekin to unmold. If unmolding is difficult, return the ramekin to hot water briefly. Repeat to ummold the remaining ramekins. Drizzle each panna cotta with vanilla syrup, and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Grease 4 (1-cup) size ramekins with nonstick spray to evenly coat the insides.
• 2. Begin by adding milk, cream and sugar to a pot and set over medium heat. Add vanilla bean and seeds and 4 strips of lemon peel (try not to get any of the white pith). Bring to a simmer. Once the mixture begins to bubble, turn off the heat.
• 3. While the mixture is heating, combine the gelatin and lemon juice, whisking as you go to avoid lumps. Temper the gelatin with about 1/2 cup of the heated milk/cream mixture and whisk back into the remaining mixture. Strain cream mixture using a fine mesh strainer, into a bowl and discard the vanilla pod and lemon peel. Add the creme fraiche and gently whisk to combine the mixture. Distribute evenly among the ramekins and place in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours or until they are set.
• 4. In a small saucepan reduce balsamic vinegar over low heat until slightly syrupy 5 to 7 minutes. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
• 5. Remove the ramekins from the refrigerator and top with quartered strawberries. Drizzle the tops with the balsamic syrup and serve.

Steps:

• In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the ginger, sugar, lemon zest and hot pepper (if using) and 2 cups water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes. Remove pepper, if using, and continue simmering until syrup is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Do not reduce too much or syrup will crystallize when cool.
• Remove syrup from heat and allow to cool. Strain it, reserving the ginger for another use (like candied ginger) if desired. Pour syrup into a jar or bottle, and refrigerate for up to a week; flavor will fade after that. (To make a quick ginger ale, put 2 teaspoons in 1/2 cup soda water and stir.)

Steps:

• Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan and warm over a medium-high heat for about 20 mins, stirring frequently so it doesn't catch, until reduced by about a quarter (you need around 600ml remaining). Stir in the caster sugar to dissolve, then pour in the double cream. Meanwhile, soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water for 10 mins. Squeeze out any excess liquid, then add to the coconut milk mixture, stirring until the gelatine has dissolved completely.
• Divide the mixture between six-eight ramekins (about 140ml each) and set aside until the mixture has cooled. Chill for at least 3 hrs until set, or overnight.
• Put the ginger nuts in a sandwich bag and use the end of a rolling pin to crush them to a rough powder. Divide the mixture between six to eight small plates, spreading thinly.
• Prepare a bowl of warm water and dip the ramekins in to loosen the edges. Carefully turn them upside down in the middle of each plate and tap gently until freed.
• Add a couple of mango slices beside each panna cotta, and sprinkle over the lime zest. Serve straightaway.

Steps:

• Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise in 2 halfs.
• In a medium sauce pan, bring to boil the coconut milk, add vanilla bean and the palm sugar.
• Add the shredded coconut and on low heat stir or mix for 2 minutes.
• Add the Agar-Agar and bring to boil again, stirring for another minute.
• Take out the vanilla bean.
• Rinse small porcelain bowls (or chinese tea cups) with cold water and fill in the coconut panna cotta.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• For the Ginger-Lime-Strawberries, wash and slice the strawberries into small pieces.
• In a bowl, mix the lime juice, the ginger and the brown sugar.
• Add the strawberries and toss to coat.
• To serve, invert the panna cotta onto small plates and garnish with the ginger-lime strawberries.

Steps:

• Spray a paper towel with a little cooking spray and use it to grease 8 (1-cup) custard cups or one 8-cup serving bowl; set aside.
• In a saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water and let sit for 2-3 minutes, without stirring, to soften.
• Stir until gelatin dissolves.
• Add sugar, milk, evaporated milk, cream, vanilla, and ginger; bring to a simmer over medium, stirring constantly (3-5 minutes).
• Remove from heat, then allow to rest for 2 minutes so flavors can blend.
• Strain mixture into custard cups.
• When cool, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set (6 hours or overnight).
• Unmold, if desired; top each portion with a generous helping of fruit before serving.
