意式香草奶冻佐莓果甜酒酱 Vanilla Panna Cotta

I have had the Japanese agar flakes at home for quite a while. After studing several recipes of the Italian dessert panna cotta, I decided to make this version with agar flakes. I also took a risk to combine the taste of Amaretto and Marsala --- just for experiment! ^^

The recipe is adapted from Del Sole and Vi. Thanks^^
Panna Cotta (serves 2 in small jars)

150g whipping cream/double cream
50g milk ( or 45g youghurt )
33g sugar
3 drops of vanilla extract or 1/4 vanilla pod
2.5 tsp agar flakes ( or 1 tsp gelatine powder, or 3g leaf gelatine<=3g )
5g Amaretto

Sauce
30ml Marsala wine
30g sugar
90g blueberries/blackberries

For the Panna Cotta:
  • combine the cream, milk and the sugar and pour into a saucepan.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer and stir for 3 mins without boiling.
  • Turn off the heat and scatter the agar flakes on top.
  • leave to cool for 10 mins.
  • Stir the agar and bring the mixture once again to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir for another 2 mins until most of the agar is dissolved and let it cool to just luke-warm.
  • Pass the mixture through a sieve.
  • Stir in the amaretto and vanilla extract.
  • Pour into 2 containers, cover them and refrigerate.
For the sauce:
  • Pour the Marsala wine into a saucepan and stir in the sugar.
  • Allow gentle simmer and add blueberries. Gently shake the pan to make all berries are coated with the liquid.
  • Simmer for several mins then let them cool.
Serving: Pour the warm sauce around the cool panna cotta!
家里存着有好几个漂亮的小罐子、日本寒天条和意大利杏仁酒Amaretto已经有一段时间了,一直想找个小点来做做。在网上鼓捣了半天,决定做意大利的经典小甜品panna cotta,叫它奶冻或者奶酪慕斯均无不可。这个东东又好吃又容易做,还可以用吉利丁替换寒天,也可不加杏仁酒,但是我的目的就是要试试这包新寒天和这瓶新酒,所以硬是把几样材料凑在一起,就当是个小试验,所以没敢一次做很多。方子主要参考了设计师阿Vi和意大利女厨Del Sole,自己减小了分量。Vi用的是吉利丁片,而Del Sole用的是寒天条并且加的是酸奶。这个酸奶的版本想必更加美味,打算以后尝试。
最后做出来,杏仁酒的微苦,香草与奶油的香味,与莓果的酸甜和Marsala的酒香交织成丰富的层次,更不用说冰凉的奶冻与微温的酱汁合成的奇妙口感了。好虽好,但我做得太少了,根本不够吃!忙活了这半天才吃这么几小口,所以奉劝大家有把握的还是用Del Sole的原方比较好(约一倍的量)

意式香草奶冻 (2人份--两个2oz玻璃小奶瓶,是极小份的2人份哦!)

150g 动物性鲜奶油
50g 鲜奶
33g 细砂糖
3滴马达加斯加香草油,或1/4香草荚,开半刮籽
5g 意大利杏仁酒
2.5 tsp 2又1/2小勺寒天条

莓果甜酒酱 (淋酱)

30ml Marsala酒 (做过提拉米苏的人都会有这种酒哦!不趁机消耗一下?^^)
30g糖
90g 新鲜的莓果(蓝莓、黑莓、红莓。。。发挥你的想象吧)我用的是蓝莓
做法:
  • 鲜奶油、鲜奶与细砂糖混合至小锅中,中火加热2-3分钟,期间不断用木勺搅拌以免粘锅,轻微沸腾即可
  • 离火,将寒天撒在混合物面上,不要搅拌,静置至少10分钟至凉
  • 重新中火加热,在轻微沸腾的状态下间或搅拌,直到大部分寒天已经融化,不要剧烈沸腾
  • 放凉至微温,用筛子过筛,主要是把未化的寒天筛掉,这样吃起来口感才细腻
  • 慢慢加入香草油和杏仁酒,搅拌至完全混合
  • 装入模具,表面包保鲜膜,入冰箱冷藏15分钟左右即成
莓果甜酒酱汁做法:
  • Marsala酒入小锅中小火加热,缓缓加入糖搅拌
  • 加入莓果,轻轻摇晃小锅直至所有莓果都裹上了一层酒糖浆
  • 持续加热几分钟,稍稍放凉,淋在奶冻周围或表面立即食用

是不是很简单呢!没有寒天的话用吉利丁代替即可,而且吉利丁不象寒天这么麻烦,融得又快过筛的时候也不剩下什么。我用寒天还不是为了向健康进军嘛。
注:寒天即高级版本的洋菜;寒天粉可用燕菜精代替,寒天条可用燕菜条或洋菜条代替。但用量要改变。需要用1份寒天粉的,要用3份寒天条。
