Looking for something new to end meals? Panna cotta, Italian for cooked cream, is a silky dessert thatâs often flavored with vanilla. This delicious version from Mary Bergfeld of Eugene, Oregon features a sweet berry-wine sauce you wonât soon forget! Ingredients:
1 envelope unflavored gelatin |
3 cups whole milk |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1 cup water |
sugar substitute equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar |
2 cups frozen unsweetened mixed berries |
1/2 cup port wine or grape juice |
1/2 cup fresh raspberries |
1/2 cup fresh blueberries |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over milk; let stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Stir in extract.
2. Pour into six 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups coated with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate until set.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring water and sugar substitute to a boil. Add the frozen berries and wine or juice; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes. Mash and strain berries, reserving juice. Discard seeds.
4. Return juice to the pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until sauce is reduced to 3/4 cup. Transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate until chilled.
5. Unmold panna cotta onto dessert plates. Serve with sauce and fresh berries. Yield: 6 servings.
