Panna Cotta

Dark Chocolate Sauce

Sunflower Seed Praline

Florentine Cookies

Passion Fruit Sauce

Method

Panna Cotta

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold milk in a small bowl and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat Cream and Sugar

    In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, remaining milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is steaming, but not boiling.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Then, add key lime juice, vanilla extract, and zest. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Chill the Panna Cotta

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

Dark Chocolate Sauce

  1. 5

    Heat Cream

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

  2. 6

    Melt Chocolate

    Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly before using.

Sunflower Seed Praline

  1. 7

    Prepare the Sugar Mixture

    In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and sunflower seeds. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 8

    Caramelize the Mixture

    Continue to cook without stirring until the mixture turns a golden amber color. Remove from heat and pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool and harden before breaking into pieces.

Florentine Cookies

  1. 9

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, melted butter, and honey. Mix until well combined.

  2. 10

    Shape the Cookies

    Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten slightly.

  3. 11

    Bake

    Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.

  4. 12

    Drizzle with Chocolate

    Melt the dark chocolate and drizzle over cooled cookies.

Passion Fruit Sauce

  1. 13

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine passion fruit pulp, sugar, and water.

  2. 14

    Cook the Sauce

    Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
