Nectarine pannacotta
As part of our completely self induced torture diet (hahaha… sorry it is really not that bad!) we look at reruns of masterchef Australia every day. That is – to be entirely honest – not really the best thing to do if you cannot eat sugar, grains etc etc and you are looking at Gary diving head first into a decadent chocolate cake. And so I am secretly looking forward to the moment we will be done with the whole30 (only 6 days!) Not that we will be going overboard straight away or at all but I like to have the options. But the idea is to find a healthy balance between good and bad… and so I am looking forward to bake something again. The neighbors are always happy with it so I don’t even have to eat it all myself.
But because I am really a nice person I figured you might want to look at a proper dessert in the meantime… It’s one from the old archives but that doesn’t make it any less tasty right? Plus the stonefruit season is in full swing so the perfect timing to share this nectarine pannacotta.
In the meantime Tom and I are working on some exciting plans where I cannot tell you much about yet… Not very useful right, but you’ll find out in due time!
Pannacotta is apparently a dessert that is supposed to be complicated (or so I have been told) but for the life of me I cannot understand why that would be. It’s super simpel en super delicious. My favorite pannacotta is not even on the site yet I noticed so you will have to do with this version for now or you can have a look at my cinnamon pannacotta or the cranberry pannacotta but it’s a bit early for that.
Nectarine pannacotta
Ingredients
- 7 leaves of gelatine + 2 extra
- 600 ml single cream
- 220 gr granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 400 ml buttermilk
- 4 ripe nectarines
- juice of 1 lemon
- Soak your 7 gelatine leaves in cold water for at least 5 minutes prior to making the cream.
- Heat the cream with the sugar, buttermilk and vanilla essence in a saucepan on medium high heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Stir in the gelatine leaves while taking the pan of the fire and stir until dissolved. Put the mixture through a sieve. Leave to cool a bit and then put in glasses of your choice and leave them in the fridge covered with a bit of clingfilm.
- In the meantime peel your nectarines (carve a cross in the bottom of the nectarines and pour hot water over them, leave to stand and you can peel them like you would a tomato)
- Chop the flesh finely, remove the stones and put the fruit in a blender. Puree until smooth, put through a sieve and press well so all the juice is gone from the pulp.
- Soak your remaining gelatine leaves in cold water and slowly heat your nectarine puree on low fire until just hot enough to dissolve the gelatine. add your lemonjuice and stir to combine. Leave to cool and once cool poor on top of the panna cotta in the fridge and put it back in to set for another 2 hours in the fridge

We are grateful for the dessert! Glad your whole30 is going well, what is on your first day off eating hit list?!
I made a pannacotta once and the gelatine went lumpy and it’s put me off, I really need to try again.
Lol.. glad you approve.. 😉 What the first thing is we will be eating…Hmm, that’s a tough one to answer as there is so much! But I think the worst thing is the breakfasts so my guess is I’ll go for something with yoghurt for breakfast to start with!
As for the gelatin; I tend to go on the low side of gelatin as I don’t like too much in it. I just don’t like the texture. I’d rather put it in a glass and use less than use too much… But try again… It’s really good!
Ooo yes! Yoghurt, and a sprinkling of oaty granola – dreamy. Thanks you’ve inspired me, I love the look of that cinnamon recipe.
Heck, only 6 days to go on the Whole 30? Time flies! And I’ll bet you are looking forward to baking. Anyway, this pannacotta is terrific — thanks.
Yes, thanks goodness I would say! I’m getting a bit frustrated with not being able to cook or bake what I want, so am sooooo looking forward to the end! 🙂
Mmmm and panna cotta is my favorite dessert and I am always looking for new inspiration and ideas! I love this made with buttermilk and I love the nectarine topping… wonderful. Now off to check out the cinnamon panna cotta, both of which got pinned to my Panna Cotta board!
And sadly my favorite pannacotta is not even on the site… I so need to make it again.. It’s also with buttermilk and lemon which is perfect. I love some acidity to cut through the full cream. Makes it less heavy too!
Nectarines are wonderful right now so I am excited to try this!
Definitely give it a go Cathy! It’s delicious!
I love panna cotta but I’ve always made it in dariole moulds and decorated it after plating. I love how you’ve done this one!
