Panna cotta au balsamique et suprême d’orange

Serving: 4 starters

Preparation time : 20 minutes

Cooking time : 5 minutes

Resting time : 6 hours minimum (or overnight)


Ingredients

1 cup (240 ml) milk

½ cup (140 g) 35% cream

⅓ cup (60 g) fine sugar

1 teaspoon (5 g) vanilla extract

2 teaspoons (5 g) powdered gelatin

2 tablespoons (25 g) cold water

¼ cup (40 g) crushed pistachios

2 oranges

2 teaspoons (10 g) olive oil

2 teaspoons (10 g) caster sugar

Flower of salt

Balsamic vinegar

Preparation

  1. Prepare the panna cotta

Heat the milk and sugar:

In a saucepan, pour the milk and add the sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 60°C (you can use a kitchen thermometer to check). This should take about 5 minutes.


Bloom the gelatin:

In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with the cold water (25 g). Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to dissolve and swell (the "blooming" process).


Mix the ingredients:

Once the milk and sugar have reached 60°C, remove the pan from the heat.

Add the gelatin mixture (which will have taken on a gelatinous texture) and stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Then add the cream and vanilla extract, then mix well to homogenize the preparation.


Distribute in the containers:

Pour the mixture into ramekins or small pots (about 120 ml) evenly.

Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours (or overnight) for the mixture to set and become firm.


  1. Macerate the oranges

Prepare the oranges:

Remove the skin from the oranges and cut them into segments (segments without skin).

Mix the supremes with 2 teaspoons of fine sugar and the olive oil.

Leave to marinate for the entire duration of the panna cotta resting time.

  1. Dress and serve

Finish the dessert:

Once the panna cotta has set and is firm, sprinkle crushed pistachios on top.

Add the macerated orange segments on top.

Complete with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of fleur de sel to add a contrast of flavors.

Trick :

This dessert is even more delicious when made the day before and allowed to sit overnight, as the flavors intensify.
