Orange Panna Cotta
By MJH
Panna cotta is a silky custard made without eggs that's often topped with a sauce. Tossing orange sections with turbinado sugar adds a rich flavor you won't get using granulated sugar.
Ingredients
- Buttery Orange Curd:
- 1 (1/4-oz.) envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup cold milk, divided
- 3 navel oranges, divided

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation
Step 1
Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl; stir until moistened. Let stand 5 minutes. (Mixture will be lumpy.)
Meanwhile, carefully remove 3 (2- x 1-inch) strips of rind from 1 navel orange using a vegetable peeler.
Reserve orange for another use.
Cook heavy cream, granulated sugar, and orange rind strips in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat, and add gelatin mixture, stirring until mixture is dissolved.
Stir in vanilla and remaining 3/4 cup milk. Discard orange rind strips.
Pour mixture into 6 (4-oz.) dessert glasses or wineglasses.
Cover and chill 8 hours.
Peel and section remaining 2 navel oranges.
Roll orange sections in turbinado sugar.
Top panna cotta with Buttery Orange Curd and sugared oranges.
Garnish, if desired.
Store leftover panna cotta in refrigerator up to 3 days.
Note: Tested with HAIN Pure Foods Natural Turbinado Sugar.
