Panna Cotta with Vin Santo-Soaked Figs
From grizzlybear 16 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups heavy cream shopping list
- 1 cup whole milk shopping list
- 1/2 cup sugar shopping list
- 2 large pieces orange zest strips, about 3-inches long shopping list
- 1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise shopping list
- 1/4 cup Vin Santo, or other sweet dessert wine, such as Sauternes, or Muscat shopping list
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin shopping list
- 2 cups quartered and stemmed fresh figs shopping list
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup honey shopping list
- cocoa powder, garnish shopping list
How to make it
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar, and zest. Scrape the vanilla seeds into the pan and add the vanilla bean. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove the orange peel and vanilla pods from the saucepan and discard. Return to the heat and bring to a simmer.
- In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the wine over low heat. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle the gelatin into the wine and stir to dissolve. Let sit for 5 minutes. In a bowl, toss the figs with the remaining 2 tablespoons of wine and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring once.
- Remove the cream mixture from the heat and add the gelatin mixture, whisking until well blended. Divide evenly among 8 (1/2-cup) ramekins or molds.
- Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours, or overnight. To serve, dip the bottoms of the cups in warm water to loosen. Run a thin knife around the edge and invert the cups onto dessert plates, shaking to release the custards. Decoratively arrange figs around each panna cotta and drizzle with honey, to taste. Sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder and serve immediately.

Been looking for a good panna cotta recipe anyway. We can't get figs here though, more's the pity (I grew up in CA too, my dad had a huge fig tree-- sigh). Can you suggest another fruit to try with it? Would apricots work?
