Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) 35% cream
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 1/2 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (about 60 g) goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 1/2 teaspoons (7 g) unflavoured gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cold water
- 1 cup (250 ml) buttermilk
- 2 cups (320 g) strawberries, quartered
- 1/2 orange, zested (optional)
- 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cream and sugar. If using a vanilla bean, use a sharp paring knife to split it down the middle and scrape with the dull side of the knife to remove the seeds. Add the seeds and pod to the cream mixture and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved about two to three minutes. Turn the heat down to low and whisk in the crumbled goat cheese until melted.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it stand for about two to three minutes to soften and bloom – if the mixture looks a bit dry, add a few drops of water to moisten it. Remove the cream mixture from the heat, remove and discard the vanilla bean, if using, and add in the bloomed gelatin, and whisk until dissolved. Allow it to cool for five minutes then whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, if using.
- Pour the panna cotta mixture into six small ramekins or jars and cool to room temperature. Place the panna cottas in the fridge for at least five hours to firm up.
- Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, orange zest if using, and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until jammy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Set aside to cool completely before storing in the fridge.
- Serve the panna cotta topped with stewed strawberries. Enjoy!
