Hibiscus Panna Cotta

This luscious, creamy, light, and slightly tart Hibiscus Panna Cotta is definitely something you need to try! I love making desserts that are easy and quick. And this is one of them.

Hibiscus is one of those ingredients I don’t see very often in desserts. It’s not the usual pantry staple or common thing to have around. But I do love the flavor and all the different things I can do with it.

Most people know about hibiscus as an ingredient in drinks and beverages, but there is so much more you can do with it and this Hibiscus Panna Cotta is one of them.

Now lets talk about the health benefits of Hibiscus.

Basically you need to add this beautiful and delicious dry flower to your shopping list.

I really love the flavor of this Panna Cotta!

Its creamy,

tart,

light,

elegant,

sexy…

(Yes.. I’m still talking about Panna Cotta ;))

Ok, now let’s make this Hibiscus Panna Cotta together!

It’s actually very easy to make. You just need a few ingredients, a saucepan, silicon mold, or ramekins. You can even use cups or just a few small glasses/jars (doesn’t have to be the same shape or size).

Here are the ingredients:

Heavy cream. Whole milk. Dry Hibiscus. Cane Sugar. Gelatin. Vanilla.

• In a saucepan over medium heat combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, and dry hibiscus. Bring it to boil, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 10min. Turn the heat off and let it sit for 5-10min, so the hibiscus has more time to infuse.

• 

• 

• Using a sieve remove the hibiscus by pouring the liquid through it. Return the liquid to the saucepan and cook on low heat. Add the gelatin and stir till it has dissolved. Remove from heat and run it through the sieve one more time to remove, if any, gelatin pieces left undissolved. I add the vanilla at this point.

• All you have to do now is pour it into the silicon mold or any container of your choice. Let it cool at room temperature, and then cover with plastic. Transfer to the fridge and let it sit there for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight.

*Note: if you are using a silicon mold, you might need to run a knife around the edges to make sure they come out nicely without breaking or getting stuck. Although that is not always necessary, you can tell just by looking at the edges, if they are stuck to the mold or not.

• You can serve it as it is, or decorate it with anything you like. Drizzling hibiscus syrup is a great option, or adding fresh fruit.
