Ingredients

  • LEMON CREAM:
  • 100 grams Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 75 grams Butter
  • 50 ml Lemon juice
  • INGREDIENTS FOR PANNA COTTA:
  • 3 Gelatine leaves 6gr
  • 500 ml Cooking cream
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla essence
  • 150 grams Sugar
  • STRAWBERRY SYRUP:
  • 500 grams Strawberries cut in 1/4
  • 70 grams Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Water

Instructions

  • LEMON CREAM:
  • Cut each lemon in ½ and squeeze the juice out. I like to do this with my hands and a small strainer to catch the seeds.
  • You need 50ml of juice so it depends on how big your lemons are!
  • Put 1 egg, sugar and lemon juice into a non-stick small pan and stir well using a whisk, then ass butter.
  • Now, turn the stove on to a medium heat and keep mixing
  • Continue to stir until the cream thickens and your kitchen will start to smell DIVINE!
  • Once you have a nice thick cream, take it off and poor ¼ in a small glass. Place it in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • PANNA COTTA:
  • To make your panna cotta, soften 3 gelatine leaves in a bowl of room temperature water.
  • Put a small saucepan on medium heat and add 500ml cooking cream.
  • Add a drizzle of vanilla essence (1 x tablespoon) and 150g of sugar.
  • Stir gently with a wooden spoon and bring to a simmer, but make sure you dont boil it - or your panna cotta mixture won't turn out!
  • Squeeze out excess water from the gelatine leaves using your hands and add them to the mixture.
  • Put the saucepan back on heat and continue to mix well until the leaves dissolve.
  • Pour this into small glasses, ¾ of the way to top and refrigerate for 8 hours.
  • STRAWBERRY SYRUP:
  • Put strawberries into a saucepan and add water and sugar.
  • Bring this to a boil and then blend the mixture until it becomes a beautiful, shiny liquid.
  • Strain the syrup using a sieve and it leave in the fridge to cool.
  • Pour your desired amount on top of the best panna cotta recipe but only once its set.
  • E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
