Orange Blossom Panna Cotta Recipe
Description
Orange Blossom Panna Cotta combines milk, cream, sugar, and gelatin gently heated to dissolve the gelatin, then flavored with orange blossom water before chilling to set. The use of orange blossom water provides a light floral citrus note, enhancing the creamy, smooth texture characteristic of panna cotta. The dessert is poured into small jars or cups for individual servings.
The topping is made by slicing mini mandarin oranges with the peel on into thin rounds, then cutting those rounds in half and presumably candying them by baking with sugar until sweet and slightly soft. These candied oranges add a complementary texture and burst of citrus flavor to the creamy base.
This panna cotta offers a delicate balance of creaminess and floral citrus, perfect for a light dessert. Serving it chilled emphasizes its smooth texture and refreshing taste.
Ingredients
Panna Cotta
- 1 ½ cups milk whole
- 3 teaspoons gelatin
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ¾ - 1 teaspoon orange blossom water based on your taste
Candied Mandarin Oranges
- 4 mandarin orange mini
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Instructions
Panna Cotta
- Pour the milk into a small pot and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Let it sit for 2 minutes, or until the gelatin grains start to swell or “bloom.”
- Stir in the sugar and heat gently over low heat until the sugar and gelatin have completely dissolved. DO NOT BOIL.
- Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream and orange blossom water. Start by adding ¾ teaspoon of the orange blossom water and increase it if you would like the flavor to be stronger. Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until cool to the touch.
- Once cool, whisk the panna cotta once more and then pour it into little mason jars, cups, or whatever cute little jars you plan on serving it in. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
Candied Mandarin Oranges
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Leaving the peel on, cut off the ends and then slice them into 3 circles. Cut each orange circle in half and add them to a small bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and toss gently to coat.
- Place the orange circles on the baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. You want them to still be chewy and not completely dried out.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. Serve on top of panna cotta.
