Honey Vanilla Chai Panna Cotta
Honey Vanilla Chai Panna Cotta is an elegant and incredibly easy to make Italian dessert with an exotic twist. It’s a silky smooth Italian panna cotta with the comforting flavor of chai that only takes 20 minutes to make.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1/2 cup Sherpa Chai Honey Vanilla Chai
- 1/2 cup Cold Water
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 2 tsp Gelatin
Instructions
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a single layer. Allow blooming for 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan heat the milk, 1 cup of cream, and sugar until dissolved. This should only take another minute or two.
- Add the bloomed gelatin, sherpa chai gives a quick stir.
- Take the saucepan off the heat. Pour in the remaining cream and mix well.
- Pour the panna cotta mixture into glasses. Place immediately in the fridge and allow to set for at least 4 hours.
Notes
- Sprinkle your gelatine over the cold milk in a saucepan in a single layer and let it sit. This helps in softening the gelatine to make it dissolve easier.
- Make sure to boil the milk to be lukewarm which is enough to dissolve the gelatine and sugar.
- Panna Cotta can be served innumerable ways. I’ve served it in pretty wine glasses, preserve jars, drinking glasses, in tart form, in a cheesecake. So get creative with it
- It’s best to give your moulds a light rub of oil before pouring your panna cotta mixture in.This helps to demould easily.
- Before turning the panna cotta out, sprinkle little water onto the serving plate. This will allow you to move it around a little once turned onto the plate, in the case it doesn’t end up right where you want it.
