You are going to love this Panna Cotta infused with Dragon Fruit powder recipe! It is rich and silky while remaining simple to prepare, and the color is absolutely gorgeous.
Pour water into a small bowl then sprinkle with the gelatin. Let stand until softened, about 10 minutes.
Pour the milk and cream into a saucepan then stir in the sugar. Place over medium-low heat. Bring up to a simmer, but not a boil, then remove from heat.
Add the softened gelatin and whisk to combine. So not return the pan to heat!
Stir in the dragon fruit powder and vanilla. Allow the mixture to steep for 15 minutes.
Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a heatproof measuring cup. Pour mixture into four ramekins or molds.
Place in the refrigerator to chill overnight, or at least 8 hours until set. Allow panna cotta to come to room temperature before serving.
To easily unmold, dip the bottom of each ramekin into hot water, one at a time, before flipping out onto a small dessert plate.
Sprinkle dragon fruit powder over dessert through a fine sieve and serve immediately.
Notes
The powder tends to clump together in the package. Pour some of the powder into a zipper top bag, remove excess air then roll with a rolling pin to return to a fine powder.
Place the dessert plate on top of the ramekin or mold, then run a thin knife around the edge to loosen. Flip over and shake gently to release the panna cotta.
Serve on a base of fresh dragon fruit coulis, or top with fresh berries if desired.
