Yogurt Panna Cotta with Peach Jelly

Here is the recipe for a delicious yogurt panna cotta with peach jelly. Panna cotta is a typically Italian spoon dessert, but this yogurt version with the addition of a fresh peach jelly is a lighter and fruitier variant.

Ingredients

• 250 ml of fresh liquid cream
• 250 g of Greek yogurt (or natural white yogurt)
• 70 g of granulated sugar
• 8 g of sheet gelatin (fish glue) or 1 sachet of powdered gelatin
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or the seeds of 1 vanilla pod)
• 2 ripe peaches

For the peach jelly:

• 200 ml of water
• 100 g of granulated sugar
• 1 ripe peach (or the equivalent of natural peach juice)
• 4 g of sheet gelatin (fish glue)

Preparation

1. Start by soaking the gelatin in a bowl with cold water for about 10 minutes to hydrate it.
2. Heat the liquid cream with the sugar and vanilla in a saucepan until the sugar has completely dissolved. It is not necessary to boil the cream, but it must be very hot.
3. Squeeze the gelatin and add it to the hot cream, stirring well until fully dissolved.
4. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes, then gently incorporate the yogurt, stirring gently to avoid lumps.
5. Pour the mixture into molds or small dessert glasses and let cool. Then, place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the panna cotta has set well.

For the peach jelly: 6. While the panna cotta is cooling, prepare the peach jelly. Soak 4 g of gelatin in cold water for about 10 minutes. 7. In another saucepan, bring the water to a boil with the sugar and the peach cut into pieces until a slightly thick syrup forms. 8. Blend the syrup with the peach to create a homogeneous mixture and pass it through a sieve to remove any lumps and peel. 9. Reheat the mixture if necessary, squeeze the hydrated gelatin and add it to the hot syrup, stirring until completely dissolved. 10. Allow to cool slightly and then pour the peach jelly over the now set panna cotta.

11. Place back in the refrigerator and let the jelly set for at least 2 hours.

Panna cotta, which literally means “cooked cream”, has its origins in Piedmont at the beginning of the 20th century. It is a versatile dessert that offers many possibilities for variations, both in the flavor of the cream and in the type of topping or jelly, allowing you to adapt the dessert to the seasons and personal tastes. Yogurt panna cotta with peach jelly is a summery and refreshing version of this Italian classic.
