The Perfect Holiday Wedding Dessert: Eggnog Panna Cotta
Eloping is about breaking free from convention, so instead of a wedding cake, consider serving a festive eggnog panna cotta. This delicious dessert takes five minutes to prepare, and makes a lovely display served on a silver cake stand on a vintage lace tablecloth. Silver ribbon adds easy elegance.
Eggnog Panna Cotta Recipe
Ingredients
4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
12 Tbsp cold water
6 cups of your favorite eggnog
2 cups whipping cream
sugar to taste (optional)
Lightly grease an 8-cup mold with canola oil.
In a large bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 12 tablespoons cold water.
Let the gelatin dissolve for 5 to 10 minutes.
While the gelatin dissolves, heat eggnog and whipping cream until hot, but not boiling.
Add sugar to taste.
Add the hot eggnog mixture to the gelatin.
Mix well and pour into a mold greased with canola oil.
Refrigerate overnight.
Invert the panna cotta on to a serving platter.
To prevent a disaster, immerse the mold in hot water for a few seconds to loosen the panna cotta. Shake it a few times to make sure it has loosened enough to plate it. I highly recommend a "dress rehearsal" to master the technique before showtime.
