Recipe Source: http://allrecipes.com (Submitted by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson)↓↓ PRINTABLE RECIPE BELOW ↓↓
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons very finely grated lemon zest
- 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
- 2 Tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (such as Grand Marnier, Triple Sec)
- 2 Tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (such as Grand Marnier, Triple Sec)
- 1 (12 oz) pkg. frozen raspberries
- 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 (6 oz) container fresh raspberries
- In a large saucepan (over medium-low heat), bring the whipping cream, 1/2 cup sugar and lemon zest to a simmer (but do not boil).
Soften the gelatin and 2 generous Tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Stir and let sit for a couple minutes. Whisk the softened gelatin and 2 TBSP of the orange liqueur into the cream mixture.
Coat 8 (4 oz.) ramekins lightly with non-stick cooking spray (blot off the excess with paper towel, if necessary). Pour the cream mixture equally into each ramekin. Carefully place the filled ramekins into a shallow pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at LEAST 4 hours (overnight if possible).
While panna cotta is "chilling" in the refrigerator, make the sauce: Partially thaw the frozen raspberries. Once partially thawed, place them in a food processor (fitted with metal blade). Add 6 TBSP of sugar and 2 TBSP orange liqueur. Blend until smooth.
Transfer the raspberry orange sauce to a bowl. *Note: If you would like a seedless sauce (this is what I used), just strain the sauce first through a fine mesh sieve before placing in bowl*. Stir in the fresh raspberries, then let the sauce stand for approximately one hour.
When ready to serve the panna cotta, remove ramekins from refrigerator. To remove the custard, run a thin-bladed knife around the edge of each ramekin to loosen it up. Place a dessert plate on top of each ramekin and quickly invert (flip the plate over, while holding both the plate and the ramekin) onto plate to unmold.
- Spoon raspberry-orange sauce around (with a little on top) the panna cotta to serve. Enjoy!
