Salty Panna Cotta: Goat Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup goat cheese crumbles
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• A few grinds of black pepper

Directions:

1. Pour the heavy cream and whole milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes a solid.
3. Remove the cream mixture from the heat and whisk in the goat cheese, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Stir in the softened gelatin until it dissolves completely. Pour the mixture into ramekins or small glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set. Serve chilled.

Verdict:

This salty panna cotta is a unique twist on the sweet version, with tangy goat cheese flavor and a subtle saltiness. It’s rich and creamy, making it a great appetizer or side dish for a fancy dinner party.

Serving Suggestions:

Top with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of chopped nuts to balance out the saltiness and add some sweetness. Pair it with crackers and fruit for a sophisticated snack or dessert.
