Panna Cotta

ActorSeeksJob

I have made two bad attempts at making this delicious dessert, one from some cookbook and the other from this link

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/PANNA-COTTA-WITH-STRAWBERRIES-AND-BALSAMIC-VINEGAR-106433

I followed it exactly but my panna cottas were nearly mush. Does anybody have any tips or recipes for making a panna cotta succesfully ?

I am not sure where I went wrong, maybe I didn't whip the cream/milk hard enough


I would love to be able to make this dessert, absolutely have fallen in love with it.


Any ideas ?

OK,

here's a recipe from "The Silver Spoon" Italy's best selling cook book for over 50 years. - so the say.

I hope its good, as I am looking forward to making it.

Serves 6.
Ingredients
10g/ .25 oz gelatine leaves
100ml / 3.5 fl oz milk
500ml / 18 fl oz double cream
100g / 3.5oz caster sugar
1 Vanilla pod, slit

instructions
Fill a small bowl with water, add the gelatine and leave to soak. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to just below simmering point, then remove the pan from the heat. Do not allow it to boil. Drain and squeeze out the gelatine and add to the milk. Pour the cream into another saucepan, add the sugar and vanilla pod and bring to the boli over a low heat, stirring constantly. Immediatly remove the pan from the heat, remove the vanilla pod and stir in the milk mixture. Rinse out a rectangular cake tin with ice-cold water, shaking out any excess, and fill with the mixture. Chill in the fridge for several hours until set. Turn out onto a serving dish by itself or with a sauce.




Best of luck.
