Panna cotta / Panakota

Wuu-hoo, December is literally flying by and Christmas will be here in less than two weeks! Holy moly! During the weekend I downloaded 300 most popular Christmas songs and yes, I've been annoying people with them =). I haven't decorated the apartment, because I have no space and I don't know where to put all these ornaments, but I have my thoughts "decorated" with Christmas, haha. I didn't made this panna cotta for myself, but for Truflle because he loves it. I think it's boring, it reminds me of pudding, which I also don't like, but that didn't stop me from making it, because I want to do everything at least once. Preparation is so simple that even I'm not sure if I really prepared it, because it was all so quickly done=). You can make dressing from your favorite fruit, I think the berries are most appropriate. I used persimmon, because I had them at home. I put them in a blender and I added a little powdered sugar.

With love, Neja



Ingredients

• 5 dl heavy cream
• 1 dl milk
• 100 g sugar
• 1 vanilla bean or vanilla powder
• 6  gelatine sheets 

The process

Soak gelatin for 10 minutes in a small amount of water (about 1 dl). Sratche the inside of vanilla with knife.Pour in the pot cream, milk, 50 g sugar, and vanilla. Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, until the sugar dissolves, then remove. Add gelatin (you have to squeeze gelatin with your fingers, so you remove all water) and stir until everthing blends together.

Molds or cups rinse with cold water and fill with the prepared mixture. Cover them with a transparent foil and put them in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Chilled panna cotta turn over on a plate and top with sauce.

Wuu-huuu, december dobesedno leti mimo in Božič bo tukaj čez manj kot dva tedna! Holly moly! Med vikendom sem naložila 300 najbolj popularnih božičnih pesmi in ja, sem že začela najedati z njimi =). Stanovanja niti nisem krasila, ker nimam prostora in ne vem kam bi vtaknila vse te okraske, so pa zato moje misli "okrašene" prav lepo božično, hih. Tole panakoto nisem naredila zase, ampak za Tartufka, ker jo obožuje. Meni se zdi dolgočasna, spominja me na puding, ki ga prav tako ne maram, ampak to me ni odvrnilo od tega, da jo pripravim, ker hočem vse narediti vsaj 1x. Priprava je tako preprosta, da sploh nisem prepričana, če sem jo res pripravila, ker je bilo vsega tako hitro konec=). Preliv lahko naredite iz najljubšega sadja, mislim da je jagodičevje še najbolj primerno. Sama sem uporabila kakije, ker sem imela domače iz Strunjana. Samo spasirala sem jih in dodala malo sladkorja v prahu.

Z ljubeznijo, Neja

Sestavine

• 5 dl sladke smetane
• 1 dl mleka
• 100 g sladkorja
• 1 vanilijev strok ali vanilija v prahu
• 1 vrečka želatine v lističih (6 lističev)

Postopek

Želatino za 10 minut namočimo v manjši količini vode (približno 1 dl), da nabrekne. Vanilijev strok podolžno razpolovimo in z noževo konico izpraskamo stržen. V posodo nalijemo sladko smetano, mleko, 50 g sladkorja in vanilijo. Na zmernem ognju kuhamo približno 5 minut, da se sladkor raztopi, nato odstavimo. Dodamo ožeto želatino in mešamo, da se le-ta povsem razpusti.

Modelčke ali skodelice splaknemo s hladno vodo in napolnimo s pripravljeno zmesjo. Prekrijemo jih s prozorno folijo in za 1 do 2 uri damo v hladilnik, da se želatina strdi.

Ohlajeno strjenko zvrnemo na krožnik in prelijemo s prelivom.
