How to prepare Yogurt panna cotta with peach jelly

To prepare the yogurt panna cotta with peach jelly, start by making the panna cotta. Soak the gelatin in cold water for about 5-10 minutes 1 and in the meantime pour the lactose-free cream into a saucepan 2. Add the honey 3,

the sugar 4, mix with a whisk and bring to a simmer. At this point, turn off the heat, squeeze the gelatin sheets well 5 and add them to the hot cream, stirring quickly with the whisk 6 until completely dissolved.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool, then add the lactose-free yogurt 7 and mix quickly with a spatula 8. Take a silicone mold or a muffin tray, place the glasses inside it, tilting them slightly, and fill them with your yogurt panna cotta 9. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours.

After this time, prepare the peach jelly. Soak the gelatin in cold water for about 5-10 minutes 10 and in the meantime pour about 1/4 cup of peach juice into a saucepan 11. Bring it to a simmer and add the previously squeezed gelatin 12.

Mix quickly with a whisk until the gelatin dissolves and add the remaining juice 13. Mix again and let it cool in a pitcher. Then take your glasses from the fridge, pour the lukewarm peach jelly over the now solidified panna cotta 14 and place back in the refrigerator to solidify for at least 2 hours. When serving, focus on decorating the glasses. Wash and dry a nectarine and cut it in half 15.

Slice it 16 and use the slices to garnish each glass, adding mint leaves 17 and half a sprig of red currant 18. Now you just have to enjoy your yogurt panna cotta with peach jelly.

Advice

Before pouring the jelly over the panna cotta, it needs to cool well, otherwise, it will risk melting. To prevent this, you can place the glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before completing them with the jelly.

Storage
