Method

Panna Cotta

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Gelatin

    Once the cream mixture is hot, remove it from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Add Pistachios

    Stir in the finely chopped pistachios into the cream mixture until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Chill the Mixture

    Pour the panna cotta mixture into individual serving cups or molds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Orange Granita

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh orange juice, sugar, calamansi juice, and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 7

    Freeze the Mixture

    Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. After about 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape the mixture, breaking up any ice that forms.

  3. 8

    Scrape and Freeze Again

    Continue to scrape every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours until the granita is fluffy and frozen.
