Lychee Pancotta

A panna cotta is an Italian-style dessert made of gelatin and sweetened cream.  You can use store-bought shortbread cookies for ease. It adds a little bit of crunch to an otherwise smooth and creamy dessert!

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin (1 package)
  • ⅓ cup + ⅓ cup superfine sugar, divided
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ teaspoon + ½ teaspoon Bella Nonnas Lychee Balsamic- divided
  • 1 pinch fine salt
  • ⅓ cup water
  • Dried rose petals, to garnish
  • Crushed shortbread cookies, to garnish

 

Instructions:

In a large saucepan over medium heat whisk together the milk, gelatin and ⅓ cup sugar. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer, but do not boil. Remove from heat.

Whisk in the whipping cream, vanilla, ½ teaspoon lychee balsamic and salt. Evenly divide mixture amongst 4 serving glasses or ramekins. Refrigerate until fully set, about 4 to 6 hours.

As the panna cotta sets, prepare the simple syrup. To a saucepan over medium heat add the water, remaining sugar & remaining lychee balsamic. Bring mixture to a simmer and continue cooking until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat & set aside until ready to use.

When ready to serve, evenly divide the syrup amongst the panna cottas. Top with crushed shortbread and dried rose petals.
