Pannacotta

[Kyla]

Italian for boiled/cooked cream
- or something like that.

The ground recipe that I have is the following:
5dl (2 1/4 cups) cream - not whipped or anything it should be like milk... but cream...
1dl (1/2  cup) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
Gelatin - the amount should be stated on the package of your choice (there are at least 3 different types, one is vegan friendly)

-------------------------------------------

Heat the cream and stir in the sugar, despite the name (translation) I don't think it really should boil but just get hot enough to almost boil. Remove the pot from the stove before you add the gelatin. Pour it in some small cups or glasses and let them stay cool for 2 hours (goes slightly faster with vegan gelatin).

-------------------------------------------

The recipe can be changed:
Vegan style: Cocoa milk, or any other non-dairy-milk/cream of your choice + vegan gelatin
Cream light: Split the amount of cream in half and use milk the other half
Skip the pannacotta part and do it with some other liquid all together (lemonade?)
Exclude vanilla sugar from the mixture if you wish to

-------------------------------------------

Taste for the ground recipe...
By now I've tried pretty much everything worth testing:
Licorice - 5/5 - Made with powder from real licorice plant, unsure if you'd be able to find it in US but probably
Coconut oil - 5/5 - About 1 tbp of coconut oil (with taste), the top layer of the finished product get a bit oily but it's ok.
Cocoa powder - 2/5 - Not a catastrophe but pretty disappointing result. It become something else... Chocolate pudding that taste like it was made in a factory.
Cranberry jam (not actually what I used, but something similar that you probably don't have in north america) - 1/5 - Not a good idea to mix into the cream. Possibly a better idea to have on top of the finished piece but... No.
Tea - 2/3 - It wasn't horrible... But the tea concentrate wasn't strong enough. It have potential to be better but need more practice or work.
Gelatin candy - 3/5 - I messed up the mixture, it became grainy. But it have potential. You don't need to add gelatin into the mixture if you do this recipe as the candy have enough of that.

My best suggestion is: use more flavor than you think would be necessary, because it will be needed. The taste fade in the mixture.

What great timing, I just made some yesterday! The picture below isn't the one I made yesterday (I had to make them in non-see through cups).
In the picture though, it's raspberry jelly and a vanilla cream. mmm, so good!
