Prep Time:
8 hours or overnight
Cook Time:
30 minutes
Serves:
4 - 6
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups heavy cream (split in half)
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (split in half)
6 tablespoons sugar (split in half)
1/4 teaspoon salt (split in half)
1 1/2 teaspoons gelatin (split in half)
1 teaspoon matcha powder
1.5 cup fresh raspberries, plus 1 cup for serving
Powdered sugar, for garnish
Special Tools
Fine mesh sieve
Small water glasses, wine glasses or coupes (anything that is see-through)
1
PREPARE two layers of panna cotta: matcha and raspberry.
NOTE: You will need to set the matcha layer first for at least 4 hours before adding the raspberry layer.
2
WHISK gelatin into 1 tablespoon cold water in a small bowl. LET sit for at least 5 minutes to stiffen, then DIVIDE the gelatin in half.
3
In a small saucepan, COMBINE half of the cream, buttermilk, sugar, and salt. STIR over medium heat until the mixture begins to steam.
4
SIFT matcha powder through a fine mesh sieve into the pot. WHISK until fully combined and ALLOW to steam (without simmering) for 4 minutes.
5
REMOVE from heat and WHISK in half of the gelatin until dissolved. STRAIN the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a liquid measuring cup.
6
POUR the matcha panna cotta into serving glasses, filling them about one-third to halfway. COVER each glass with plastic wrap, being careful not to disturb the liquid to maintain clean layers. CHILL in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
7
PUREE 1 cup of Driscoll's raspberries in a blender. STRAIN through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. REPEAT steps 3-5, but instead of adding matcha powder, ADD 2.5 ounces of the raspberry puree.
8
REMOVE the chilled matcha panna cotta from the fridge and carefully POUR the raspberry panna cotta on top. COVER with plastic wrap again and CHILL for another 4 hours or overnight.
Serving
1
REMOVE plastic wrap from each panna cotta.
2
TOP with fresh Driscoll's raspberries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
3
SERVE with small spoons and enjoy directly from the glass!
