We love Panna Cotta and we have obsession anything with Caramel flavours. In May 2010 I prepared panna cotta for the first time – Vegetarian Mango Panna Cotta , which turned out delicious. Then there was a White Chocolate Panna Cotta with Dark Chocolate sauce, very chocolicious.

I used agar agar to set all the above panna cotta recipes, also used in making this easy and quick homemade vegan jelly recipe too!

I always fiddle with authentic recipes and turn those recipes into fusion recipes. Or, if I put it in posh words ‘Modern Twist on the Traditional Recipes’ and I prepared Thandai Panna Cotta with Rose Saffron jelly. and Doodh Poha with Nutella Panna Cotta. They were phenomenal!

While I was preparing Paneer and Vegetable Makhni Dum Biryani we were left with almost 200-250ml cream.

This luscious Caramel Panna Cotta dessert topped with sweet, salty, and nutty crunch was absolutely bang on.

How to cook VEGETARIAN CARAMEL PANNA COTTA

caramel panna cotta
  1. In a pan add the half of the milk and coconut sugar.
  2. Whisk it well and let the sugar dissolve properly.
  3. Put the pan on medium heat and allow the mixture to heat up.
  4. Cook for further 4-5 minutes, but do not allow to burn.
  5. Now add remaining milk, agar-agar powder, cream and maple syrup.
  6. Whisk well and let the mixture simmer but do not let it boil.
  7. Keep stirring most of the time.
  8. Let the mixture cool for 5-7 minutes.
  9. Add vanilla extract.
  10. Pour the mixture into ramekins or serving bowl or glasses equally and allow to set in the refrigerate until set.
peanut brittle
  1. Meanwhile, make brittle.
  2. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with baking parchment.
  3. In a non-stick pan add sugar and 100ml water.
  4. Heat the pan gently, and let the sugar dissolve itself.
  5. Once sugar dissolve, gently stir it and bring it to boil.
  6. Then boil about 10 minutes until the syrup reaches to a deep amber-coloured caramel.
  7. Don’t let the caramel go darker or the taste will be bitter.
  8. Remove the pan from the heat and quickly add the salted peanuts to it.
  9. Give it a quick stir and tip the mixture onto a baking sheet.
  10. Spread it quickly into a thin layer with the spoon or spatula and leave it to harden.
  11. Once it hardens break into small pieces.
  12. Once pannacotta is ready, top with salted peanut brittle and serve chilled.
  13. Enjoy.

NOTES:

I have used organic coconut sugar in making caramel pannacotta as coconut sugar has naturally caramel flavour.
If you do not want to use coconut sugar, use light Muscovado sugar or regular white sugar.
The Brittle is also especially good when made with other nuts such as cashew, walnuts or macadamia in place of peanuts.

This looks wonderful! I've yet to make panna cotta with agar agar, but I love the idea of a totally vegetarian version!
