Thandai Yogurt Panna Cotta

Kankana Saxena
Panna Cotta is one of my favorite dessert to make in any occasion. I love how easy and effortless to make this particular dessert. It is a great blank canvas to add in whatever flavors you like. So this Holi, I made Thandai Yogurt Panna Cotta which was not overly sweet and tastes so refreshing light.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 and ½ cup plain thick yogurt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
  • 1 and ½ tablespoons Thandai powder
  • ⅓ cup white granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Place a muslin cloth on a colander and drop the yogurt. Squeeze the excess water out and then leave the yogurt wrapped in the cheese cloth in the freeze. Place a bowl below as it will keep draining water from the yogurt overnight.
  • Next day, take the yogurt out of the muslin cloth to a bowl.
  • In a small bowl, pour 3 tablespoons water and add the gelatin powder. Mix and leave aside for 3 to 4 minutes for the powder to bloom.
  • To a heavy bottom pan, pour the heavy cream and place it on medium low heat. Add the thandai powder and sugar and stir for 2 minutes.
  • To the pan now add the bloomed gelatin and whisk to dissolve the gelatin completely. Give 2 minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat and whisk the hung yogurt to it until it's smooth and creamy.
  • Pour in serving glasses or bowls and leave in the fridge for few hours to set.
  • Garnish with more thandai powder on top and enjoy the Thandai Yogurt Panna cotta.

Notes

KEY NOTES to keep in mind:

Don’t add too much gelatin or agar agar, it will make the texture of the panna cotta hard and not smooth to the palate. I did that mistake once.
Blooming the gelatin powder is vert essential. You just mix water with gelatin powder and leave it aside for a few minutes. It will thicken and form like a gel.
Then it needs to be mixed with warm cream and whisked for a while to dissolve the gelatin.
