PANNA COTTA WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY SAUCE



Panna Cotta With Fresh Strawberry Sauce image

My own version of the Italian dessert favorite. 'Panna Cotta' literally means 'cooked cream.' I made it for my husband to take to a work function and they loved it! They send him home with a request for it every year now! I created the simple strawberry sauce to accompany it. It really makes the dish!

Provided by Colleen Mitchell

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 4h33m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups milk
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1 ½ cups whipping cream
¼ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 quart fresh strawberries, quartered
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Pour the milk into a bowl; sprinkle the gelatin over the milk. Allow mixture to sit until the gelatin softens, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the cream and 1/4 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the gelatin mixture; cook and stir until gelatin dissolves completely, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture evenly into ramekins; cover and chill at least 4 hours.
  • To make the strawberry sauce, combine the strawberries, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. While the mixture cooks, crush the strawberries with a potato masher. Simmer the sauce until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes; cool.
  • Remove chilled ramekins from the refrigerator shortly before serving. Dip the bottoms of the cups in warm water to help loosen the custard. Run a thin-bladed knife around the inner edge of each ramekin to loosen the dessert; turn onto a dessert plate to unmold. Spoon strawberry sauce over panna cotta to serve.

JOE'S "SAY CHEESE" CHEESECAKE WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY SAUCE



Joe's

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 4h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cooking spray
1 1/2 cups fine graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
32 ounces (Four 8-ounce packages) cream cheese
2 cups sour cream
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 to 1 1/4 cups halved fresh strawberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 lime, zested

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray; line the bottom with a round of parchment paper; and spray the paper with cooking spray. Place the pan on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and bring the foil up around the sides to enclose the seam between the bottom and the sides of the pan (this will prevent water from leaking in).
  • Stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan and up the sides. Set aside.
  • For the filling: In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese together with the sour cream. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sugar, cornstarch and vanilla, and beat until smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Set the foil-wrapped pan inside a larger pan, and carefully pour 1/2 inch of warm water into the larger pan to create a water bath. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven, open the oven door and let the cheesecake stand in the opened oven for 1 hour. Refrigerate the cheesecake for 2 hours or overnight before removing it from the pan.
  • For the sauce: Process the strawberries, sugar and lime zest in a food processor or blender until smooth. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. (The sauce is best served cold from the refrigerator.)

RICOTTA AND ORANGE BLINTZES WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE



Ricotta and Orange Blintzes with Strawberry Sauce image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup milk
1/4 cup cold water
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more to cook crepes
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 orange, zest finely grated
1 quart strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 orange, zest finely grated
Unsalted butter, melted for sauteing blintzes
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the batter: Combine the milk, water, eggs, flour, sugar, and salt in a blender. Blend on medium speed for 15 seconds, until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Scrape down the sides of the blender and pour in the melted butter. Blend it again for a few seconds just to incorporate the butter. Refrigerate the batter for 1 hour to let it rest.
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, egg, confectioners' sugar, and zest and blend until smooth. Chill until ready to use.
  • Make the sauce: Combine the strawberries, sugar, water, cornstarch, and zest in a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir gently until the berries release their natural juices. The consistency should remain a bit chunky, it will thicken up when it cools down.
  • Make the crepes: Put an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush with a little melted butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan and swirl it around so it covers the bottom evenly; pour back any excess. Cook until the crepe batter sets and the bottom is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Use a heatproof rubber spatula to loosen the crepe and flip it. Cook it on the other side for about 1 minute. Slide them onto a plate and continue making the crepes until all the batter is used. Cover the stack with a towel to keep them from drying out. Makes about 10 crepes.
  • Assembly: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup of the cheese filling along the lower third of the crepe. Fold the bottom edge away from you to just cover the filling; then fold the 2 sides in to the center. Roll the crepe away from you a couple of times ending with the seam side down. Put an ovenproof skillet over medium heat and brush with melted butter. Pan-fry the blintzes top side down until crisp and golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip them over, transfer the pan to the oven, and bake for 10 minutes so the cheese mixture sets. Using a spatula, transfer the blintzes to serving plates. Spoon the strawberry sauce on top, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately.

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
6 cups 1-inch-cubed challah bread (about half of a 1-pound loaf)
1 pound ripe strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • For the French toast casserole: Set a trivet in a 6- to 8-quart Instant Pot® and add 1 cup water to the pot. Spray a 6-inch springform pan or 7-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and eggs in a medium bowl. Add the half-and-half and whisk to combine well.
  • Press the bread into a large bowl, then pour the custard mixture all over. Press the bread firmly to submerge. Stir with a spoon, then pour the bread and custard mixture into the prepared cake pan. Place the pan on the trivet in the Instant Pot® and pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB SAUCE



Angel Food Cake with Strawberry-Rhubarb Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup granulated sugar
5 green cardamom pods
1 pound rhubarb (about 3 large or 6 small stalks), sliced 1/2 inch thick (about 4 cups)
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Beat the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and ground cardamom in a large bowl with a mixer until medium peaks form. Slice the angel food cake and top with the strawberry-rhubarb sauce and spiced whipped cream.

Tips:

1. Fresh Strawberries: Choose plump, ripe strawberries for the freshest flavor. 2. Sugar: Adjust the sugar amount to your desired sweetness level. You can also substitute honey or maple syrup for a healthier option. 3. Lemon Juice: Adding lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness and enhances the strawberry flavor. 4. Cooking Time: Cook the sauce until it reaches your preferred consistency and thickness. Avoid overcooking, as it can result in a loss of flavor and nutrients. 5. Straining: If you prefer a smooth sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or chunks.
