Ingredients
Panna Cotta:
1 1/2 cups (375 milliliters) whipping cream (35% cream)
1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
1/2 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup (about 60 grams) goat cheese, crumbled
2 1/2 teaspoons (7 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) cold water, plus more as needed
1 cup (250 milliliters) buttermilk
Strawberries:
2 cups (320 grams) strawberries, quartered
1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
1/2 orange, zested, optional
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Special equipment:
6 small ramekins or jars- For the panna cotta: In a medium saucepan, combine the whipping cream and sugar. If using a vanilla bean, use a sharp paring knife to split it down the middle and scrape with the dull side of the knife to remove the seeds. Add the seeds and pod to the cream mixture and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and whisk in the crumbled goat cheese until melted.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it stand for 2 to 3 minute to soften and bloom; if the mixture looks a bit dry, add a few drops of water to moisten it. Remove the cream mixture from the heat, remove and discard the vanilla bean, if using. Add in the bloomed gelatin and whisk until dissolved. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes then whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, if using.
- Pour the panna cotta mixture into 6 small ramekins or jars and cool to room temperature. Place the panna cottas in the fridge for at least 5 hours to firm up.
- For the strawberries: Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, sugar and orange zest if using in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until jammy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Set aside to cool completely before storing in the fridge.
- Serve the panna cotta topped with the stewed strawberries.
