Ingredients
Panna Cotta
- 1 packet gelatin, unflavored (about 2 teaspoons)
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 ½ cups whipping cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon blood orange zest
- 1 ½ cups full-fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup freshly juiced blood orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Coulis
- 1 ½ cups raspberries
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the gelatin absorbs the water and becomes spongy.
- Heat Cream Mixture: In a saucepan, combine whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, and blood orange zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Add Gelatin: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
- Mix Yogurt and Flavors: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, blood orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually whisk the warm cream-gelatin mixture into the yogurt mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the mixture into serving glasses or molds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set.
- Prepare Raspberry Coulis: In a blender or food processor, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- Strain Coulis: Pass the blended raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, creating a smooth coulis.
- Serve: Once the panna cotta is set, spoon the raspberry coulis over the top just before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved in the warm cream mixture to avoid lumps.
- Use freshly juiced blood orange juice for the best flavor and natural color.
- The panna cotta needs sufficient chilling time to properly set, so plan ahead.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whipping cream and milk with coconut milk and use a plant-based yogurt.
- To intensify the blood orange flavor, add a little extra zest or juice but adjust sugar accordingly.
