weekend baking \\ panna cotta with Campari jelly

i made this desserts for Father's Day last weekend. i'm filling it under 'weekend baking' even though there's no baking involved. i'm quite happy on how it turned out so i'm documenting the recipe on the blog for future use. 

Jim asked for the vanilla panna cotta from Donna Hay's Modern Classics cook book but i wanted to try something different. five minutes of googling later, i found this recipe which i thought is perfect because it combines both of Jim's favourites - panna cotta and jelly. coincidentally, this is a Donna Hay's recipe too. 

ingredients \\
2 teaspoons powdered gelatine
2 tablespoons single cream
500ml single cream
1/3 cup (55g) icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (i used 1 whole fresh vanilla bean)

Campari jelly \\
2 teaspoons powdered gelatine
1 1/2 tablespoons water
250ml lemonade
1 tablespoon Campari
1 1/2 tablespoon caster sugar

to make the panna cotta, place the gelatine and 2 tablespoon of cream in a bowl and stir to combine. set aside for 5 minutes or until the gelatine is absorbed. 

place the 500ml of cream, icing sugar and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil. 

add the gelatine mixture and stir until dissolved. 

pour the mixture into 4 x 3/4 cup capacity glasses and refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. 

to make the jelly, place the gelatine and water Ian bowl ands stir to combine. 

set aside for 5 minutes or until the gelatine is absorbed. 

place the lemonade, Campari and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. 

add the gelatine mixture and stir until dissolved. set aside to cool. 

pour the jelly mixture on to the panna cotta and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
