"Making the panna cotta in a cake pan gives this classic dessert a new look. For best results, use an organic plain yogurt (which usually has a softer texture than nonorganic)...."
INGREDIENTS
•
Panna cotta:
•
Canola oil
•
2 tablespoons water
•
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
•
2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
•
2 1/4 cups plain whole-milk yogurt (preferably organic)
•
1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
•
3/4 cup sugar
•
Plums:
•
6 small ripe plums, thinly sliced
•
1/4 cup sugar
•
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
•
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
•
Test-kitchen tip: If possible, invert the panna cotta on a flat platter or large plate. A serving piece with sloping sides won't allow the dessert to lie flat and will make it more difficult to slice the panna cotta into wedges.
