Ube Panna Cotta
A Filipino spin on the classic panna cotta dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons gelatin (about 1 and a half packets)
- 1 cup ube halaya
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ube extract
Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine the milk and sugar. Sprinkle on the gelatin. Let this sit for 10 minutes for the gelatin to hydrate.
- Heat the milk and gelatin mixture over medium-high heat. Whisk constantly until the milk starts steaming (do not boil) and the gelatin is dissolved. Remove from the heat.
- In a small bowl, add the ube halaya. Stir in a little bit of milk mixture into the ube halaya at a time to loosen it up. Once the ube halaya is smooth and easier to mix, add it to the main milk mixture.
- Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and ube extract.
- Pour into ramekins, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Enjoy!
