Want to try a new dessert recipe that you can make almost completely from your food storage? Try this recipe for Panna Cotta. It is a smooth, sweet, milky set dessert that is easy to make and your family will love it.
Panna Cotta
4 T. water
2 1/2 tsp. unflavored gelatin
Measure water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Let it set for about 5 minutes while it softens.
1/2 C. + 3 tsp. powdered milk
1/2 C. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
2 3/4 C water (for soft set)
Note: If you want the Panna Cotta to set up a little more firm so you can unmold it on a plate, use 2 2/3 C. water.
Mix dry ingredients above together well in a sauce pan. Whisk in the water a little at a time so that no lumps form. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture and stir until all of the gelatin is dissolved. Cool a little then transfer into 9 small glass pyrex bowls. Let set in refrigerator for approximately 4-5 hours. Top with Strawberry Fruit Sauce below.
Strawberry Fruit Sauce
1 C. Thrive freeze-dried strawberries
1 C. Water
2 rounded T. Sugar
1/8 tsp. Lemon Juice
Put all ingredients into small sauce pan. Bring to a low boil and cook until mixture thickens, approximately 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little. Refrigerate until ready to use. Spoon over the top of Panna Cotta or use as a sauce for pancakes or waffles.
The soft set version is shown in the picture at the top and also in this picture where I unmolded it on a plate. As you can see, the soft set version is a little soft to hold it's shape when unmolded on a plate. If you use less water as directed above in the Note, you will get a product that will stand up nicely when unmolded. I hope you will enjoy this recipe. My grandchildren especially love it.
