Ingredients

  • 1 (1/4-oz.) envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup cold milk, divided
  • 3 navel oranges, divided
  • 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup turbinado sugar
  • Garnishes: sweetened whipped cream, fresh mint sprigs

Method

  • Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl; stir until moistened. Let stand 5 minutes. (Mixture will be lumpy.)
  • Meanwhile, carefully remove 3 (2- x 1-inch) strips of rind from 1 navel orange using a vegetable peeler. Reserve orange for another use.
  • Cook heavy cream, granulated sugar, and orange rind strips in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and add gelatin mixture, stirring until mixture is dissolved. Stir in vanilla and remaining 3/4 cup milk. Discard orange rind strips.
  • Pour mixture into 6 (4-oz.) dessert glasses or wineglasses. Cover and chill 8 hours.
  • Peel and section remaining 2 navel oranges. Roll orange sections in turbinado sugar. Top panna cotta with Buttery Orange Curd and sugared oranges. Garnish, if desired. Store leftover panna cotta in refrigerator up to 3 days.
