Cooking Time: 20 mins + overnight to set

Ingredients

  • Panna cotta

  • 900ml fresh cream
  • 3 vanilla pods, split lengthways and seeds scraped out
  • 210g sugar
  • 3 gelatine leaves

  • Pineapple and citrus salad

  • 1 pineapple, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 200g sugar
  • 250ml (1 cup) water
  • 3 oranges, peeled and segmented

Instructions

1

For the panna cotta, heat the cream in a large saucepan over medium heat together with the vanilla pods and sugar. Do not allow to boil. Remove from heat.

Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water. When soft, squeeze out the water and add to the hot cream mixture. Stir to dissolve the gelatine. Strain through a fine sieve and pour into ramekins. Leave to set in the fridge overnight.
