Instructions
Panna cotta
Soften the gelatin by putting it in a bowl of cold water.
Heat the cream, vanilla extract, and sugar in a small saucepan.
Whisk so the sugar will dissolve.
Beat the egg yolks until they are pale yellow.
Add the hot cream drip by drip to the egg yolks while whisking. Then put everything back in the saucepan and bring to a boil (still keep mixing). Boil for 1 minute and then turn off the heat.
Let the gelatine dissolve (and still keep whisking).
Pour the pudding in the molds or glasses and let the panna cotta stiffen in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Gin sauce
To make the sauce add the dark syrup, water and gin in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes.
Add a lump of butter, whisk and cool down to room temperature.
Before serving, turn the pudding molds on a nice plate and loosen the pudding. Or serve in nice glasses. Pour the sauce over the panna cotta and serve immediately.
NOTES
When you rinse the molds in cold water just before pouring the pudding into the molds, the panna cotta will unmold easier afterward.
Instead of brown gin, this sauce will be great when adding licor43, Kahlua, or any other coffee liqueur.
If you don't have any pudding molds, serve the panna cotta in nice teacups or glasses.
