Panna Cotta With Vodka Strawberries

Serves:
4
To impress your Valentine, take a tip from the Italians: prepare one of their famous desserts, panna cotta. The smooth creamy texture is guaranteed to melt hearts. The vodka strawberries are sensational and are certain to give the occasion some extra spark.

Ingredients

PANNA COTTA

300ml thickened cream
½ vanilla pod
25g caster sugar

¾ tsp powdered gelatine


VODKA STRAWBERRIES

2 punnets small strawberries, washed
6 tbsp brown sugar
200ml vodka
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp water

Method

1 Dissolve gelatine (see tip). Meanwhile, add the cream and sugar to a small saucepan. Halve vanilla pod and scrap the black seeds into cream. Bring to the boil, stirring gently. Remove from heat. Add dissolved gelatine to warm cream mix and stir well. Pour evenly into four ½-cup capacity moulds. Store in refrigerator on small tray. Allow at least 4 hours to set, or leave overnight.

2 Using a large frypan, dissolve sugar with vodka, balsamic vinegar and water. Add strawberries and toss quickly in hot liquid for 2–3 minutes. Remove from pan and cool. Place in fridge to chill.

3 To serve, use a sharp knife to run around the edge of the panna cotta. Gently ease onto a plate, spoon on vodka strawberries and syrup.

Notes

TIP OF THE WEEK
For best results when dissolving the powdered gelatine, sprinkle it over 1 tbsp cold water. Leave to sit until spongy, about 10 minutes. Then add 1 tbsp of almost boiling water and stir until dissolved.
