greek yoghurt panacotta
800g Yeo valley Greek yoghurt (green packaging)
330ml double cream (a pot!)
Approx 300ml organic whole milk
Vanilla pod seeds scraped out 1 1/2 -
2 sachets gelatine (dr oetker)
Honey
Jelly mould - ring shaped but you can get experimental I made this recipe up on the day so measurements might be slightly out but it doesn’t really matter as the gelatine will still set these quantities.
Place milk and cream into a saucepan and sprinkle your gelatine on top to “sponge” - leave for 5 mins. Now I added 2 dr oertker sachets on to this mix and personally found it quite firm - I like it a bit softer but it’s very personal preference. To combat this I took the panna cotta out of the fridge a couple of hours before to soften the jelly. Or you could just put on a touch less gelatine - say 1 to 11/2 sachets rather than the 2… Heat the sponged gelatine up gently on a low heat till it all disappears. Add in your vanilla pods and stir through a couple of tablespoons of runny honey. In a bowl add on your yoghurt and then gently stir through your milky gelatine mix. Taste. Is it sweet enough? If not add a touch more honey. Pour into your mould - (make sure you oil your mould well to help to remove it later!) Place into the fridge to set (ideally over night). Turn it out onto a large dish and decorate with seasonal berries. If you feel it’s too firm take out an hour or so in advance and then place your chilled fruit around it. I served it with a generous drizzle of runny honey on top. Extra lovely things can be a crumble sprinkle or poached rhubarb are AMAZING!! Let me know how you get on xxxx Ps any gelatine will work well for this and ideally I use Great Lakes - as they are ethically better but I had run out. Gelatine can be a good boost of protein but also good for the gut but, again, ideally I like to buy good quality brands… but hey! You could definitely try this with a vegan alternative. Just check the instructions for setting amounts xx
