  • ½ cup (100g) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, or 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
  • 4 tsp powdered gelatin
  • 6 tablespoons (90ml) cold water
  • Fresh mint leaves, to garnish
For the roasted peaches:
  • 6 peaches, cut into slices
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp bourbon/brandy
  • 1 tsp vanilla
For the oat crumble
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 4 tbsp whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp oats
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp crushed almonds
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg
Instructions
For the Panna Cotta:
  1. Heat the heavy cream and sugar in a saucepan.
  2. Once the sugar is dissolved, and the cream is substantially warm, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Lightly grease the custard cups or any mould that you are using for your panna cotta with a neutral-tasting oil.
  4. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a medium-sized bowl and let stand 5 to 10 minutes till it swells up.
  5. Pour the very warm Panna Cotta mixture over the gelatin and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  6. Divide the Panna Cotta mixture into the prepared cups. If you are wary whether your gelatin has set or not, strain the mixture before pouring into the cups.
  7. Chill the panna cotta until firm, which will take at least two hours but preferably let them set for at least four hours.
  8. If you’re pressed for time, pour the Panna Cotta mixture into wine goblets so you can serve them in the glasses, without unmolding. To get the slanting look, hold the glasses in a slanting position with the help of loaf pan, or a dish that comfortably holds them at a slant. Pour the cream-gelatin mix mix into glasses until half full. Allow to chill in slanting position until set. .
  9. To make Panna Cotta with sheet gelatin: Soften 25g (approximately six sheets) in a liter of cold water for 5 to 10 minutes. Wring the sheets out and stir them into the warm Panna Cotta mixture in step # 4, until dissolved.
For the peaches:
  1. Preheat oven to 220 C. Slice the peaches and remove the stones. Arrange on baking tray. Sprinkle with brown sugar, honey, lemon zest, brandy/bourbon, water and add butter. Mix and bake in oven for 20 minutes or until peaches are soft and caramelized nicely.
For the oat crumble:
  1. Preheat oven to 325/175.
  2. In a large bowl mix the oats, flour, almonds, cinnamon nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the butter with the honey and vanilla; drizzle over the crumb topping and mix until well coated.
  4. Spread the mix on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes till golden brown. Let cool completely, about an hour.
To serve:
  1. Run a sharp knife around the edge of each Panna Cotta and unmold each onto a serving plate.
  2. Top each with a little of the roasted peach and toasted oat crumble. Garnish with 2-3 fresh mint leaves.
