I had all the ingredients in the house for this recipe but not quite enough white chocolate so I made 1/2 quantity which filled 2 x 1/2 cup ramekins. I couldn't wait 24 hours for it to set so the photo is not quite as firm as it should be but it is absolutely delicious. So light and tasty enough with just using the lime leaf for flavouring and not adding any lime oil or essence. This would be a lovely finish to a meal when people are not looking for heavy, calorie laden desserts.
I did do the first step on reverse so as not to chop up the lime leaf. 5/5 from me.

You probably didn't need to make the full recipe anyway. Great review JD, I can't wait to make something from this collection. Your dish looks very appealing so I will probably make it very soon.
-
This is the one I would like to make first. Why are we always so busy.???
-
Looks delicious Judy.Love the plate it's presented on :)
-
Thanks CC, it's from a tea set which my Mum has passed down to me - she has had it for a very long time and you often see bits and pieces of it in antique shops. My 2 girls might fight over it so I might leave it to my GD ;)
-
Looks great JD! I love pannacotta and will definitely try this recipe.

Very wise to bypass a generation ;) It is lovely, no wonder your DD's like it so much. ;D
-
You will love it Katie. I'm so glad I bought that kaffir lime tree - if I did nothing else but make this dessert with it, it was worth the money ;D
-
There is nothing worse than buying a whole pkt of fresh kaffir lime leaves and then having to throw the rest of the pkt out after a couple of leaves used. I wonder can you freeze them?
-
A great wrap Judy. I love panna cotta too, look forward to making this. :D
-
CP - yes - you can freeze them . . http://www.taste.com.au/good+taste/article/q+and+a+michelle/can+i+freeze+kaffir+lime+leaves,364
JD - thanks for the review - will try to make this one very soon! :D

I freeze them CP. They have always been fine.
I would like to get a tree though like Judy did.

I bought a small tree last year that I grow in a pot. I doubt I'll run out of leaves any time soon, might be worth the effort CP, it didn't cost much. :)
-
From memory I think mine was dearer than yours Julie but at $25 I now know I can walk out to the pot and pick myself a lovely fresh kaffir lime leaf if a recipe calls for it. Mine would be no taller than 30cm but I rarely use the leaves so I figure it is going to do the right thing by me and keep producing and growing at a rate faster than I need them. It does have some new spring growth on it I noticed the other day. Check out your prices over there CP, it is so nice to have things on tap.
Katie, if we had discussed this recipe on Friday you could have taken some home. I can drop some off to your letterbox sometime this week if you like. Just let me know if you want them or whether you still have some frozen ones you want to use up first.
-
Have put a tree on my shopping list - wow it sounds like I may need truck instead of a trolley :D
-
Cp, next time your at GC pop in & pick some leaves from my tree :)
H :)

Thanks Judy. I still have a few in the freezer so no rush. I'll take you up on the offer soon though - I can swap you for some curry leaves from my curry leaf plant.
-
You will love it Katie. I'm so glad I bought that kaffir lime tree - if I did nothing else but make this dessert with it, it was worth the money ;D
JD I love my kaffir lime tree, the leaves are great scrunched up and placed into steamer with rice gives it lovely flavor and wonderful smell. Great desert
-
I have a curry leaf plant Katie, the leaves aren't very big though. It's one of those plants I rarely use but just wanted it in case I did need some :-))
-
Great idea, thanks GHM - will keep that in mind.
-
I have never made a pannacotta so will have to give this a go. It looks lovely and a dessert I would eat not being too sweet.

Ghm, do you just put the leaves in the basket with the rice in the TM?
H :)
-
I love Mums kaffir lime tree. I use the leaves alot, especially with fish..
Great review Judy, thanks.
-
Doesn't any one use the limes????
Gert
-
Mine is only a baby lime tree Gretchen so I doubt I will have any fruit for a long time. Can you use them as an ordinary lime would be used - they are pretty ugly looking things and I thought the kaffir lime was more for the leaves than the fruit.
-
Yes you can JD, I do. Had heaps of limes the first year but only 1 this year. I used them in marinades.

In every place I have seen them used it is for the juice and the leaves. Wish I had a tree.

Me too, loving the pot idea. (As in tree IN a pot…for those of you who were wondering!)
I have a bay tree in a pot, which I love, so maybe its pair can be a kaffir lime tree….
:D
-
Looks great Judy - I now know why a kaffir lime tree is on my to buy list!!!!
-
Wish I had a tree.
Gert
Gert - can't you grow one in a pot? Both mine are in pots - have been for ages - and they're not complaining . . well not yet anyway! Can you get them from a nursery up near where you are?
-
Oh I have tried and tried. Eventually I bought two neighbours lime trees. The trees thrived, i had lots of limes and then........they both moved away. Bwaaaaaa!
Gert
-
What? You said to the neighbour ill buy your trees (on their property) and they took your money and then sold up and left you without a
dime lime?
-
LOL! No I bought two trees and gave them to two different neighbours. One planted it and it thrived mightily . The other kept it in a pot and it also thrived though not mightily.
Both neighbours moved away. One took the potted lime tree with them one left the tree in ground and new owners recently dug it up and disposed of it to put a pool in. Sad me.
I am now limeless. It sucks.
Gert
-
OMG! This is the best pannacotta I've ever made or tasted. Lush, creamy, silky smooth and with the perfect amount of "wibble wobble" a pannacotta should have. The kaffir lime flavour was lovely.
A great recipe! You could easily adapt the recipe for vanilla pannacotta or any flavour. 5/5 for sure!
(I didn't have gelatin leaves, so used 1 teaspoon of powdered gelatin instead)
-
I am going to have to try this. Never eaten pannacotta, ds & cp love it.
I dont have moulds, do you need moulds or could you use ramekins?
H :)
-
Yes you can use ramekins or even teacups Hally. You could also pour them into nice stemmed glasses and not bother to turn them out either if you wish although pannacotta is usually upended for presentation.
I have to agree with Katie - it is the best pannacotta you will ever taste.
-
After making these a couple of days ago, I finally got around to serving them tonight.
A couple of weeks ago I made some lime infused oil which has been sitting since then. It has a lovely hint of lime which I'm pleased with.
The little panna cottas are lovely, though for my personal taste I will reduce the white choc just a bit next time, but the mango was a perfect choice to serve with them.
Another beautiful dessert, thankyou Tenina. :D

Another stunning photo Julie 8)
-
Thankyou Cornish ;D
-
Julie did you set them in the Nestle molds? I have some but couldn't find them when I made this recipe. I just went and had another look and put my hands straight on them :-)) Great little recipe this one and your picture looks very inviting.
-
Thankyou Judy, yes I did use the Nestle ones, perfect size for these. :D
-
Julie, that looks like summer on a plate :-* :-* gorgeous!
-
Thanks Maddy. ;D
-
Gorgeous JO :-*
-
Thanks CP :D
-
I used up the last 2 panna cottas today. We had one for lunch with lovely fresh fruit salad.

Oh the gorgeousness of this!!!
-
Thanks Tenina. :D

I made a vanilla version of this pannacotta (left out the lime leaves & replaced with a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste). We had it last night for dinner as we had guests.
Served with raspberries and a caramel sauce. Everyone loved it.

Lovely Katie. Next time I see you, I must give you some kaffir lime leaves so that you can try that version. My little bush has grown really well and has plenty of leaves now.

Isn't it well worth having one (or better still, more!) of these trees, Judy! I have two . . . . and (mumbling so noone can hear me . .!) I'm actually thinking of getting another. Have used a lot of leaves . . and now just waiting for the fruit to come. Just love them!!
I really must try this pannacotta!
-
Anything that saves you having to go to a specialty shop is worth having GF. I don't use kaffir lime leaves often but it is so handy to be able to walk out to the garden and pick nice, fresh ones - the outlay is definitely worth it. I doubt I would need 2, let alone 3 :o
-
I've made the kaffir lime version previously and loved it. So delicious!
As it was the best pannacotta I've ever tasted, I wanted to see if I could use the recipe to make a vanilla one.
I won't say no to some kaffir limes leaves though Judy. I keep some in the freezer normally, as they are great to add to all Thai type dishes.
-
I knew you would impress your guest Katie. Yes I forgot you had done the lime version :P

Ummmm. Were you my SS Santa Judy?
Gert
-
No Gretchen I was CC's SS.
-
Ladies your pannacotas look delightful. have never made one must try it soon.
-
Bumping this recipe - but also wondering if I could make it with lemon myrtle leaves instead of kaffir lime?
-
Yes I think you could Karen.
-
Most definitely Karen.

Ummm….yummmo!
-
That's a very descriptive answer. ;D ;D
-
Bumping this recipe. Made this for a dessert to go after a curry meal. Used lemon myrtle leaves instead of the kaffir lime, and it made a beautiful dessert that went perfectly with mango, kiwifruit and strawberries (inspired by JulieO's photo). Perfect dessert to follow a rich or spiced meal.
-
So many delicious things to make. Thanks Karen.
