Keyword: Panna Cotta

Ingredients

Panna Cotta Hearts

  • 6 tbsp cold water
  • 7 tsp powdered gelatin
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • red food colouring

Blood Syrup

  • dark red or burgundy food colouring
  • 1 ½ cups water or dark red juice
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean + seeds

Instructions

  • Pour the cold water into a large bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the cream and sugar into a medium-sized pot and set to medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar and heat until the mixture starts to bubble. Remove from the heat and add to the gelatin. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the milk and enough red food colouring to reach your desired shade of red. Whisk to combine. Pour the mixture through a sieve.
  • Set the heart-shaped molds into bowls to keep them level, then fill the molds with the panna cotta. Place in the fridge and chill overnight, until the panna cotta has set.
  • To make the syrup, dye the water a deep red with some food colouring. Pour the water, sugar and vanilla extract into a small pot, set to medium-high heat.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the syrup reduces to about ½ cup. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a jug to serve.
  • Turn the hearts out onto serving plates. If the panna cotta is sticking to the molds, wrap a warm, damp dishcloth around the molds to slightly warm the mold.
  • Pour the bloody syrup on top and enjoy!
