Melon Charentais Panna Cotta: Sweet Melon Elegance


I present to you a delightful recipe featuring Charentais melon — a refreshing dessert known for its subtle, sweet flavors. This Melon Charentais Panna Cotta combines creamy textures with the natural sweetness of melon, offering a perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 150g heavy cream
  • 350g milk
  • 40g sugar
  • 3 gelatin sheets

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Panna Cotta:
  • Begin by softening the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water.
  • In a saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once boiled, remove the saucepan from heat. Squeeze out excess water from the softened gelatin sheets and add them to the hot milk mixture. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the gelatin dissolves completely.
  • Pour the mixture into small glasses or molds. Allow them to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least a few hours, or until set.
  1. Prepare the Melon Coulis:
  • Dice the Charentais melon flesh into small pieces.
  • In a separate saucepan, combine the diced melon and honey. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the melon becomes soft and releases its juices.
  • Remove from heat and allow the melon mixture to cool slightly.
  • Transfer the cooled melon mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
  • Refrigerate the melon coulis until ready to serve.
  1. Assembly:
  • Once the panna cotta has set, carefully spoon or pour the chilled melon coulis over each serving.
  • Garnish with small cubes of Charentais melon and fresh mint leaves or a mint mousse for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
