“summer Time” Strawberry Orange Panacotta Recipe

Prepare Gelatin

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 4 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Heat Cream Mixture

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot, but do not boil.

Combine Ingredients

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.

Set Panna Cotta

Pour the mixture into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Prepare Strawberries

In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries with dark balsamic vinegar and granulated sugar. Toss gently and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare Pickling Solution

In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Pickle Oranges

Place orange segments in a jar and pour the hot pickling solution over them. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Whip Cream

In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Serve

To serve, spoon macerated strawberries over the panna cotta, add pickled orange wedges, and top with whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
