Orange Panna Cotta
Orange panna cotta is a delightful dessert that combines the smoothness of panna cotta with the refreshing taste of oranges. It is a creamy Italian dessert made with a mixture of sweetened cream, gelatin, and fresh orange juice. The panna cotta is usually set in small individual molds and chilled until it's firm and ready to be enjoyed. It's often served with a garnish of orange zest or a drizzle of orange sauce for an extra burst of citrus flavor. It's a perfect treat for citrus lovers or anyone with a sweet tooth!
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of one orange (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and spongy.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add the bloomed gelatin to the cream mixture. Stir until the gelatin dissolves completely.
- Stir in the orange juice and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps or impurities.
- Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or molds, filling them about three-quarters of the way.
- Let the panna cotta cool to room temperature, then cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Once set, garnish the top of each panna cotta with a sprinkle of orange zest.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
