Rich and exotic. Panna cotta is a delicate Italian custard made with gelatin instead of eggs. This one has a silky texture reminiscent of Chinese egg custard tarts. It's flavored with ginger and topped with mango. A perfect Chinese-Italian fusion dessert. Other fruits like apricots, oranges, or berries also work well in place of the mango. Ingredients:
nonstick cooking spray |
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin |
1/4 cup water |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
1 cup milk or 1 cup soymilk |
1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk |
1 cup heavy cream (35%) |
2 drops vanilla |
1 tablespoon gingerroot, minced (1/2 oz) |
2 mangoes, peeled and diced (1-1 1/4 cups) |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. In a saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water and let sit for 2-3 minutes, without stirring, to soften.
3. Stir until gelatin dissolves.
4. Add sugar, milk, evaporated milk, cream, vanilla, and ginger; bring to a simmer over medium, stirring constantly (3-5 minutes).
5. Remove from heat, then allow to rest for 2 minutes so flavors can blend.
6. Strain mixture into custard cups.
7. When cool, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set (6 hours or overnight).
8. Unmold, if desired; top each portion with a generous helping of fruit before serving.
