My recipe of the day is for white tea peach panna cotta.
Panna cotta is a type of Italian dessert made with gelatin and heavy cream. It is like a jello mold but believe me, the texture is not the same as jello.
The cream makes it dense and velvety smooth so it is almost like a cheesecake, albeit without the cheese. It is also similar to flan but without eggs.
It is very easy to put together and is delicious served with a few fresh peach slices and some whipped cream. After a few hours setting up in the fridge the same way jello does, it is ready to go. Just unmold it and serve on your dish.

White Tea Peach Panna Cotta
Ingredients
- 1 individual white tea bag
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Knox unflavored gelatine
- 1/4 cup Torani peach flavored syrup
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 6 tablespoons Dixie Crystals granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Adams vanilla extract
- Optional garnish: fresh sliced peaches and whipped cream
Instructions
- Assemble four half cup ramekins.
- Bring water to a boil and steep tea bag for ten minutes; discard tea bag.
- In a small cup, sprinkle gelatin over the Torani syrup and let stand one minute.
- Add softened gelatin-syrup to tea and heat up (I used a microwave), stirring until the gelatin fully dissolves.
- Place the sugar and heavy cream in a small saucepan and bring just to the boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar fully; remove from heat.
- Stir in the gelatin-syrup-tea.
- Divide mixture among ramekins and refrigerate until set (4-6 hours or overnight).
- To serve, put ramekins into some shallow hot water coming up halfway for about three minutes.
- Run a knife around the edge of the panna cotta, then invert onto a serving plate (same method as for serving a jello mold).
- Serve with fresh sliced peaches and whipped cream if desired.
