#SundaySupper

Today, #SundaySupper is getting together to celebrate Red, White, and Blue for July 4th! Christie of A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures is hosting this week and I am joining in with a recipe for Strawberry and White Chocolate Panna Cotta.

Strawberry and White Chocolate Panna Cotta

A creamy white chocolate liqueur panna cotta is covered with a layer of strawberry gelatin before topping with fresh blueberries and mint leaves. Chad referred to this dessert as a sophisticated jello shot. The best part? It can be made up to a couple of days in advance and refrigerated until needed (and it does have to be made at least 8 hours ahead of time). You only need to add the fresh blueberries and optional mint leaves right before serving.

I recently picked up a bottle of White Chocolate Liqueur on a whim during our trip to St. Michaels, Maryland. While thinking of ideas to put it to use, I remembered a few Irish Cream Panna Cotta recipes floating around in March and decided to make something similar. I came across this White Chocolate Panna Cotta from Greedy Gourmet and switched some of the heavy cream for the White Chocolate Liqueur. To create a festive look for July 4th, I covered the Panna Cotta with a layer of strawberry. Instead of the traditional berry sauce, I used gelatin to solidify the strawberry layer to help hold up the blueberries and form three district red, white, and blue sections.

Check out The Café Sucre Farina for a guide to create multiple layers for a flag-like effect if you want to take the dessert to the next level.

I used store-bought white chocolate liqueur, but have also come across a few recipes to make it at home such as this Home-made White Chocolate Liqueur from Manu’s Menu. For an alcohol-free dessert, replace the white chocolate liqueur with additional heavy cream.

Strawberry and White Chocolate Panna Cotta Recipe

Servings 6 -8 servings

Ingredients

White Chocolate Panna Cotta:

  • 1 packet (7 grams, 2 1/2 teaspoons) powdered gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 7 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Strawberry Gelatin:

  • 1 packet (7 grams, 2 1/2 teaspoons) powdered gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 4 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Garnish:

  • Fresh blueberries
  • Mint leaves

Instructions

  • To make the White Chocolate Panna Cotta: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Allow to sit as you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir often until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble on the edges. Remove from heat and add the white chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth, then stir in the white chocolate liqueur, vanilla extract, and gelatin with the water until smooth. Transfer among individual serving glasses (leaving room in each one for the strawberry layer), cover, and chill until set, 4 hours to overnight.
  • To make the Strawberry Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Allow to sit as you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • In a blender, puree together the strawberries and orange juice. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing down with a spoon to get as much juice as possible, into a medium pot and place over medium heat. Stir in the granulated sugar and cook, stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is starting to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, then the gelatin in water. Pour over the set white chocolate panna cotta, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, 4 hours to overnight.
  • To assemble: Top each glass with blueberries and mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.

    I have been trying to limit my acquisition of new specialty liqueurs, but I think I’m going to have to make an exception to buy some white chocolate Godiva liqueur after reading this! So delicious and perfect for the 4th!

    The food styling is beyond stellar. I personally wouldn’t want to eat it on the basis of how perfect the panna cotta looks…flawless job!

    I’ve had panna cotta on my list to try for a while now and now you have me dying to make it! These are so cute and I love that they not only can be made ahead, but they have to be! It’s so nice to cross things off the list when entertaining!

    So, next year, when we’re back together for the 4th (wishful and hopeful thinking) you’re making these, right? 🙂
