Green Apple Panna Cotta

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
The acidity and pectin content of Granny Smith apples play an exciting game with the cream. Acids can curdle cream proteins, so technique is key: we 'heat treat' the fruit and temper its acidity with sugar before it meets the cream. The result is a fresh, almost yogurt-like dessert.

Instructions

1 ✓

Bloom the gelatin. Peel and grate the apples, then immediately sprinkle with lemon juice.

Tip: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in lemon juice acts as an antioxidant to prevent browning.
2 ✓

Heat the cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla together.

Tip: Just heat (approx 140°F), do not boil.
3 ✓

Add the grated apple and simmer for 2-3 minutes on low heat.

Tip: Flavors release as the apple softens. Do not boil vigorously due to the acid!
4 ✓

Remove from heat and dissolve the gelatin in it.

Tip: Gelatin also helps stabilize the acidic environment.
5 ✓

Strain the mixture. Do not press the puree through, just let it drip if you want a cleaner cream.

Tip: Leaving apple bits makes it rustic and textured, straining makes it silky.
6 ✓

Pour into glasses, chill for 4 hours.

Tip: Garnish with thin apple slices.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the cream grainy?
The acid in the apple curdled the cream (protein coagulation). To avoid this, cook the apple with sugar first and only then mix with cream, or don't boil them together for too long.
