Servings: 4
Ingredients
Sweet Cream Panna Cotta
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 envelope unsweetened gelatin
- 2-3 tablespoons water
Fig Caramel
- 1 cup Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Figs , sliced in half with stems removed
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the Panna Cotta
- Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a simmer over medium heat; do not boil. Add salt. Bloom the gelatin in the water by whisking together with a fork. Allow to stand 2-3 minutes. Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the cream mixture and whisk to dissolve completely. Remove from heat. Cool for 10 minutes. Divide evenly among four (10- to 12-ounce) glasses. Chill for 3 hours at least or up to 24 hours.
Make the Fig Caramel
- Add the sugar, cream, figs, salt, and butter to a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 to 6 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before topping the cold panna cotta. You will have leftover caramel.
- Stores great in the fridge for up to 1 week. Reheat extra fig caramel in the microwave to pour over ice cream.
