Method

  1. Add the Camp Chicory & Coffee Essence, Ovaltine, cream, milk, sugar, agar agar and a pinch of salt to a saucepan. Cover and leave to infuse for 30 minutes.
  2. Grease 4 ramekins or dariole moulds with a little oil (if you’d prefer to serve the panna cotta in glasses you don’t need to grease them).
  3. Bring the panna cotta mixture to a simmer over a medium heat and bubble for 8 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a jug – straining is important as the agar agar won’t fully dissolve, so this will remove any bits. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins/moulds/glasses and chill for 2 hours until set.

  5. Carefully run a palette knife around the edge of each panna cotta then turn out onto plates (if you’re serving in glasses you don’t need to do this). Serve scattered with the crushed biscuits and hazelnuts.

Quick wins & tips

The base panna cotta mixture is easily doubled or halved, depending on how many mouths you have to feed. Swap the ovaltine for cocoa powder to make a subtle mocha pannacotta.

Make Ahead

Make the pannacottas up to a day in advance, then turn out and scatter with the biscuits and hazelnuts before serving.

Cook smarter

Agar agar is a vegan alternative to gelatine made from seaweed available in Waitrose and on Amazon. It sets firmer than gelatine, however, so avoid using it as a straight swap in other recipes. You can also use vege-gel products, in which case you won’t need to soak it; simply stir it into the panna cotta mixture to dissolve it, then heat to boiling point.
