Vanilla & Earl Grey Panna Cotta with Berries and Amaretti Crumble
Panna cotta (Italian for "cooked cream") is a classic Italian dessert made of sweetened cream thickened with gelatin. Ours is gently infused with Norohy Vanilla, Mariage Frères Earl Grey Tea, finished with fresh berries and SJ Amaretti crumble on top. This is an effortless dessert that can be prepared ahead and served straight from the fridge to the table, making it ideal for entertaining with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Panna Cotta
- 100g caster sugar
- 7.5g gelatine
- 40ml cold water
- 600ml full-cream milk
- 500ml thickened cream
- 1-2 Mariage Frères Earl Grey tea bags
- 1 Norohy vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
To Serve
- fresh raspberries & blackberries
- SIMON JOHNSON Amaretti Biscuits (we used Limoncello), lightly crushed
Instructions
Tip - The panna cotta can be made a day ahead…
- Soak the gelatine in water to allow it to bloom, set aside.
- Place the milk, vanilla seeds and pod into a saucepan. Heat gently until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat, add the Earl Grey tea bags and steep for 5-10 minutes, adjust according to taste.
- Discard the tea bags and vanilla pod. Stir gelatine and sugar into the warm milk mixture, until fully dissolved.
- Stir in the thickened cream until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the mixture into individual moulds or serving glasses. Allow to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
To Serve
- If using moulds, briefly dip the base in warm water and turn out onto plates. If serving in glasses, serve directly from the fridge.
- Top with fresh raspberries and blackberries, finish with a generous crumble of amaretti biscuits for texture and contrast.
