Silky Orange Panna Cotta

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Panna cotta means 'cooked cream'. It's one of the most elegant Italian desserts, yet deceptively simple. The secret is correct gelatin use: just enough to hold shape with a wobble, melting immediately in the mouth. Orange freshness lightens the rich cream.

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Bloom gelatin in the cold orange juice for 5-10 minutes.

Tip: The granules should absorb liquid and swell.
2 ✓

Heat cream with sugar, scraped vanilla seeds, and zest until simmering, but do not boil!

Tip: This infuses the cream with flavors.
3 ✓

Remove from heat.

Tip: Never boil cream once acid is involved to prevent curdling.
4 ✓

Stir the bloomed gelatin/juice mixture into the warm cream until completely dissolved.

Tip: Check to ensure no clear granules remain.
5 ✓

Strain mixture through a fine sieve to remove zest and pod fibers (optional for smoother texture).

Tip: Straining yields a silkier mouthfeel.
6 ✓

Pour into glasses or molds. Cool to room temp, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).

Tip: Gelatin needs time to set.
7 ✓

Garnish with orange slices before serving.

Tip: A refreshing, light end to a dinner.
