Kaffir Lime Scented White Choc Pannacotta recipe review Tenina's eBook pge 18

[judydawn]

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.

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

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.

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.  

[judydawn]

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
