Panna Cotta

This recipe is from the Osteria Giusti in Modena. Osteria Giusti uses saba -- grape must cooked for 12 hours until thick -- not worth attempting without a source of wine-grape must.

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups 474mlHeavy cream - minus 2 tbspns
  To dissolve the gelatin
1/4 cup 49g / 1.7ozSugar
1 1/2 teaspoons 7.5mlGelatin - (1/2 packet)
4 tablespoons 60mlFruit puree - (to 8 tbspns)
  = (or sweetened fruit or chocolate sauce)

Recipe Instructions

Heat cream with sugar, simmering for 15 minutes. Sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cream. Remove simmered cream from heat and add gelatin mixture, stirring to dissolve. Pour 1/2 cup of this new mixture into four lightly-oiled metal molds and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.

Dip mold in hot water and run a knife around the edge; unmold panna cotta onto individual serving dishes. Serve each with 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce, either fruit puree, sweetened fruit or chocolate sauce.
