    walnuts

    Walnuts contain compounds called anthocyanins.  This is the reason why sometimes, our baked goods turn blue.  I read that toasting them in the oven before adding to the batter causes a chemical reaction that prevents the color change.  The result?  A flawless looking cake!

    Tea Panna Cotta

    Posted on November 2, 2009 @ 2:29 am | File under : cakes, recipe by sweetness

    Decadent and diet friendly, that’s how I would describe this sweet treat.  I found this recipe in a magazine and I never thought this yummy looking dessert can be slimming.  Why?  Because it’s infused with oolong tea, a brew that contains high concentration of slenderizing antioxidants.  Apparently, these antioxidants also offer protection against heart disease, premature aging, tooth decay and the many types of cancer.  I also love oolong’s floral flavor.  It’s just perfect for desserts!

    Tea Panna Cotta

    For this treat you will need:

    • 3 oolong tea bags
    • 3/4 cup water
    • 1 envelope 25 oz. unflavored gelatin
    • 1 1/2 cups fat-free half-and-half
    • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • sugar-free chocolate syrup (optional)

    1)  In a small saucepan, bring 3/4 cup water to a boil.  Remove from heat.  Add 3 oolong tea bags; cover and let steep 3 minutes.  Discard bags.

    2)  In small bowl, sprinkle 1 envelope unflavored gelatin over 1 1/2 cups fat-free half-and-half; let gelatin sit 1 minute, or until softened.

    3)  Meanwhile, in same saucepan over high heat, bring brewed tea and 1/3 cup granulated sugar to a boil, whisking until sugar is dissloved.  Remove from heat.

    4)  Whisk in gelatin mixture and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until gelatin mixture dissolves.

    5)  Strain tea mixture and divide evenly among six 6 oz. ramekins.  Chill 8 hours, or until firm.  Serve on plates drizzled with sugar-free chocolate syrup.

    Yeilds 6 servings.

    Prep time:  5 minutes  Total time:  10 minutes, plus chilling time.
