PANNA COTTA WITH GINGER SYRUP
Steps:
- Lightly oil or spray 4 4-ounce ramekins, and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cream, sugar and ginger. Whisk until sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat.
- In medium bowl, combine the gelatin with 3 tablespoons water. Add cream mixture to the gelatin, pouring it through a fine strainer if ginger has not thoroughly dissolved in the cream. Whisk until the gelatin has dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into ramekins. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, 4 to 6 hours. (Do not chill more than 12 hours or the panna cotta will become rubbery.)
- To serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of each panna cotta. Place ramekin upside down on a serving plate and tap bottom with knife; panna cotta should fall out. If it doesn't, use knife tip to release panna cotta from bottom. Garnish with ginger syrup - warm, room temperature or cool - and a few grinds of pepper.

Steps:
- 1. Grease 4 (1-cup) size ramekins with nonstick spray to evenly coat the insides.
- 2. Begin by adding milk, cream and sugar to a pot and set over medium heat. Add vanilla bean and seeds and 4 strips of lemon peel (try not to get any of the white pith). Bring to a simmer. Once the mixture begins to bubble, turn off the heat.
- 3. While the mixture is heating, combine the gelatin and lemon juice, whisking as you go to avoid lumps. Temper the gelatin with about 1/2 cup of the heated milk/cream mixture and whisk back into the remaining mixture. Strain cream mixture using a fine mesh strainer, into a bowl and discard the vanilla pod and lemon peel. Add the creme fraiche and gently whisk to combine the mixture. Distribute evenly among the ramekins and place in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours or until they are set.
- 4. In a small saucepan reduce balsamic vinegar over low heat until slightly syrupy 5 to 7 minutes. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
- 5. Remove the ramekins from the refrigerator and top with quartered strawberries. Drizzle the tops with the balsamic syrup and serve.

Steps:
- Prepare the panna cotta: Place six 3 1/2-ounce ramekins (3 inches in diameter, 1 1/2 inches deep) on a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate until cold. Put 3 tablespoons cool water into a medium bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin; let stand until gelatin has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir together cream and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar, until bubbles form at edges, about 2 minutes. Pour cream mixture into bowl with gelatin; whisk until gelatin has dissolved. Stir in milk. Pour through a sieve into a bowl. Pour cream mixture into chilled ramekins. Refrigerate on baking sheet until set, about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the syrup.
- To serve, dip one ramekin in a bowl of hot water for 20 seconds; make sure water does not reach the rim. Invert panna cotta onto a dessert plate, gently shaking and tapping ramekin to unmold. If unmolding is difficult, return the ramekin to hot water briefly. Repeat to ummold the remaining ramekins. Drizzle each panna cotta with vanilla syrup, and serve.
PANNA COTTA
A traditional, easy, and delicious Italian custard. I had a difficult time finding a good and easy recipe on the internet, so I made up my own recipe. It tastes just like the panna cotta served at Italian restaurants. Serve with warm hot fudge sauce and fresh raspberries on top. This keeps well for several days in the refrigerator.

GINGER PANNA COTTA WITH MANGO
Rich and exotic. Panna cotta is a delicate Italian custard made with gelatin instead of eggs. This one has a silky texture reminiscent of Chinese egg custard tarts. It's flavored with ginger and topped with mango. A perfect Chinese-Italian fusion dessert. Other fruits like apricots, oranges, or berries also work well in place of the mango.

Steps:
- In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the ginger, sugar, lemon zest and hot pepper (if using) and 2 cups water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes. Remove pepper, if using, and continue simmering until syrup is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Do not reduce too much or syrup will crystallize when cool.
- Remove syrup from heat and allow to cool. Strain it, reserving the ginger for another use (like candied ginger) if desired. Pour syrup into a jar or bottle, and refrigerate for up to a week; flavor will fade after that. (To make a quick ginger ale, put 2 teaspoons in 1/2 cup soda water and stir.)
