Banana Gelato

The key to the flavor of this ice cream comes from the overripe bananas. They must be frozen and completely thawed, so it can naturally reach the puree consistency.

Makes 1 kg of gelato

• 260G Banana Puree, from frozen and thawed overripe bananas

• 480G Milk

• 200G Sugar

• 140G Heavy Cream

Freeze and thaw your overripe bananas. Scoop out the puree once thawed.

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, sugar and milk until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Add the banana puree and mix to the best of your ability using a whisk.

Take the saucepan off heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

Run the mixture in a blender until smooth.

Transfer to a container and let rest in the fridge overnight.

Strain into another container when ready and churn based on your ice cream machine's instructions.

Creme Fraiche Panna Cotta

The lightest and silkiest panna one can have. And that’s coming from someone who does not like panna cotta..

Makes 6 servings (or 4, if you are generous with your portions like me)

• 200G Milk

• 250G Heavy Cream

• 220G Creme Fraiche

• 100G Granulated Sugar

• 3G Salt

• 1TBSP Gelatin

Bloom your gelatin in 1/3 cup of ice cold water. It will look grainy.

Mix everything except the gelatin in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat. The sugar must be fully dissolved and the mixture should appear homogenous.

Take saucepan off heat. Pour the bloomed gelatin into the hot base and whisk until homogenous.

Return the saucepan to low heat and continue cooking until the mixture appears not-so-liquid.

Portion into 4 or 6 ramekins/bowls and set in the fridge overnight. If you are really short on time, give it at least 6 hours.
