Boozy Whiskey & Caramel Panna Cotta

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
A dessert variation of 'Bailey's Coffee'. Alcohol, especially a characterful whiskey (whether smoky Scotch or sweeter Bourbon), adds depth to the cream. Since alcohol lowers the freezing point, it can affect gelatin setting, so adhering to ratios is critical. This is distinctly a 'grown-up' dessert, an elegant companion for evening conversations.

Instructions

1 ✓

Bloom the gelatin in ice-cold water.

Tip: Due to the presence of alcohol, the gelatin structure can be weaker, so perfect hydration is important.
2 ✓

Heat the cream with the sugar and vanilla bean (do not boil).

Tip: The goal is to dissolve the sugar.
3 ✓

Remove from heat, take out the vanilla, and whisk in the bloomed gelatin.

Tip: Check that it has completely dissolved.
4 ✓

Stir in the whiskey. You will smell the intense aroma rising from the warm cream.

Tip: Do not reheat, or the alcohol will evaporate.
5 ✓

Pour into glasses and cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for 4 hours.

Tip: Alcoholic creams may need a little more time to set.
6 ✓

Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce.

Tip: Caramel and whiskey are a classic pairing.

Recipe FAQ

When should I add the alcohol?
Always at the end of cooking, after removing from heat, so the flavor compounds don't evaporate with the heat.

The dessert contains alcohol, though a small amount per serving, caution is advised.
