Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ube Panna Cotta Dessert.
Step 1
To start, prepare your steamer by placing a steamer insert into a saucepan filled with water, making sure the water level is just below the bottom of the steamer.
Step 2
Bring the water to a gentle boil, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting steam.
Step 3
Next, take your peeled ube and place it in the steamer.
Step 4
Cover it up and let it steam for about 20 minutes, or until it’s tender and ready to be transformed.
Step 5
Once it’s done, allow the ube to cool for about 10 minutes, making it easier to handle without burning your fingers.
Step 6
When it’s cool enough, you can either purée the ube in a blender or food processor until it’s silky smooth, or if you prefer a more hands-on approach, mash it thoroughly by hand.
Step 7
In your blender, combine 1 cup of the puréed ube with 3/4 cup of whole milk, a splash of coconut milk, and a sprinkle of sugar.
Step 8
Blend everything together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your dessert.
Step 9
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, pour in the remaining 3/4 cup of whole milk and sprinkle the gelatin on top.
Step 10
Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom, which is a fancy way of saying it will soften and prepare to dissolve.
Step 11
After that, gently heat the milk-gelatin mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the gelatin is fully dissolved—this should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 12
Now, pour the luscious ube mixture into the saucepan with the milk-gelatin blend.
Step 13
Turn up the heat to medium and stir occasionally until you see steam rising, which should take another 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 14
Finally, carefully pour this beautiful mixture into individual serving glasses or molds, and then transfer them to the refrigerator.
Step 15
Let them chill until they’re set, which will take about 3 hours.
Step 16
As you wait, imagine the delightful flavors that await you in each creamy bite! Enjoy your delicious creation!.
