White Chocolate & Cardamom Panna Cotta

This could be my favourite dessert. Rich but not overly sweet white chocolate panna cotta infused with cardamom topped with a strawberry coulis and more white chocolate. Perfect for a special occasion dessert and it will impress. Takes some time to allow it to set, but 100% worth it.

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Infuse the base

1.

In a saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar and crushed cardamom pods. Heat gently until just steaming but DO NOT bring it the boil. Turn off the heat and let it infuse for 10-15 minutes so the cardamom flavour develops.

300 ml Double cream

100 ml Whole milk

35 g Caster sugar

4 Green cardamom pods

2.

Strain the mixture back into a clean pan, discarding the pods.

3.

Place 2–3 tbsp of the cold milk from the recipe into a small bowl. Sprinkle the powdered gelatine over the milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until it swells.

Melt & set

1.

Warm the cream mixture gently again until hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until fully melted and smooth.

70 g White chocolate

2.

Here we need to taste it. It should be lightly sweet, gently spiced and creamy (and not overpoweringly cardamom)

3.

Pour into glasses or moulds. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until just set with a soft wobble.

Strawberry topping

1.

In a small pan, add the strawberry, sugar and lemon juice. Warm gently for 3–4 minutes until the berries just start to break down. Pass through a sieve to create a smooth sauce.

200 g Fresh Strawberries

2 tbsp Caster sugar

1 tbsp Lemon juice

2.

Cool completely before spooning over the set panna cotta.

To serve

1.

Top the panna cotta with the strawberry mixture, grated white chocolate and fresh strawberries. Perfection
