PASSION FRUIT PANNA COTTA, ROASTED

PINEAPPLE & MANGO SORBET

Method

For The Panna Cotta

Bring the milk to a boil, reduce to 500ml, add the sugar and

liquidise to re-incorporate the milk solids. Soak the gelatine in

cold water and add to the hot condensed milk, mixing

thoroughly. Line a mould (approximately 8cm x 18cm) with a

sheet of clingfilm. Pour the condensed milk into the mould and

place in a fridge to cool and set for two to three hours.

For The Passion Fruit Topping

Bring all the ingredients to a boil, scooping in the fruit from the

passion fruit. Soak the gelatine in cold water and add to the hot

liquid. Leave to cool. Once the passion fruit liquid is at room

temperature, pour it onto the panna cotta which should be set.

Chef’s Tip

Place an upside down ramekin in the pot with the milk

while you reduce it. This will stop the milk from boiling

over. The milk should be reduced as quickly as possible

without letting it stick to the bottom of the pan.

For The Mango Sorbet

Place the sugar and water in a pan and heat until the sugar is

dissolved. Add the mango purée and pour into an ice cream

churner. Add the egg white and churn until set. Transfer to a

container and freeze.

For The Mango Gel

Place all the ingredients into a pan and bring to a boil.

Simmer for three minutes and leave to cool. Once set, liquidise.

For The Roasted Pineapple

Cut the pineapple six slices, about 1.5cm thick. Using a cutter,

cut the slice into a disc, removing the skin and cut out the core.

Season with freshly cracked pepper and grill in a non-stick pan.

To Serve

Take the edges off the panna cotta with a sharp, hot knife and

cut into six nice slices. Place a spoonful of the gel on each plate,

drag a spoon through it and place the panna cotta on top.

Place a piece of roasted pineapple on each plate and top with

mango sorbet. Garnish with a coconut tuile and serve.
