• 40 g icing sugar

How to make Ricotta panna cotta with nectarines and honey

1. Pour 60 ml of cold water into a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface; allow it to sit for 10 minutes to soften.

2. Meanwhile, lightly coat a 23 cm (9-inch) pie or cake pan with a thin film of oil and set aside.

3. Combine the ricotta, icing sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and 240 ml of single cream in a food processor.

4. Once the gelatin has softened, add the remaining 120 ml of single cream to the saucepan and place it over low heat. Cook, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until the gelatin is completely dissolved (do not allow the mixture to boil).

5. Scrape the mixture into the food processor and blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.

6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and chill until set, at least 4 hours; after 1 hour, cover loosely with cling film.

7. Run a butter knife or small offset spatula around the sides of the panna cotta to loosen the edges and break the suction.

8. Fill a baking dish or similar vessel with hot water. Lower the bottom of the mould into the water for 5 seconds, then lift it back out.

9. Press a serving plate firmly over the top, then quickly invert in one motion and set the plate down. Use a knife or spatula to gently lift the mould away.

10. Top with nectarines, then drizzle with honey and oil.

11. The panna cotta (without nectarines, honey, and oil) can be made up to 2 days in advance; keep it chilled.
