Description
A creamy and savory twist on the classic panna cotta, infused with roasted corn and topped with a zesty chili-lime oil for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (roasted)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 lime (zested and juiced)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread corn kernels on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until slightly charred. Let cool.
- In a blender, puree roasted corn with 1/2 cup of heavy cream until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
- In a saucepan, combine remaining cream, milk, sugar, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium until steaming but not boiling. Sprinkle gelatin over the mixture and whisk until dissolved.
- Stir in the corn puree and mix well. Pour into ramekins or molds and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- For the chili-lime oil, whisk together olive oil, chili powder, lime zest, and lime juice. Drizzle over the set panna cotta before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve chilled.
