Vanilla Panna Cotta (w) Strawberries

Combine the cream, milk and caster sugar in a small saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the vanilla essence.

Sprinkle the gelatine over the water in a cup, stand the cup in a pan of simmering water, stir until the gelatine is dissolved.

Stir the gelatine and cream mixtures together and pour evenly into the prepared moulds. Cover and refrigerate for about 6 hours or until set.

Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, orange juice and icing sugar in a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate for an hour.

Just before serving, turn the panna cotta onto serving plates and garnish with the strawberry mixture.

*Panna Cotta is a light, silky-smooth ‘custard’. It can be served with seasonal fruit of your choice.
