Surprise your sweetie tonight with this easy dessert recipe from Shibuya at MGM Grand.

PANNA COTTA

1 quart milk

½ quart heavy cream

7 oz sugar

1 fresh vanilla bean or vanilla powder

11 gelatin sheets

5 ½ oz amaretto

1. Bloom gelatin in cold water.

2. Heat milk to scalding and add gelatin, stirring to dissolve. Add amaretto. Set aside to steep.

3. Combine the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium- high heat. Reduce the heat and cook for five minutes stirring often.

4. Gradually stir the gelatin-milk mixture into the cream mixture until completely combined. DO NOT BRING TO A BOIL.

5. Pour the mixture into a bowl set over an ice bath. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to cool and get gelified

6. Place in nice ice cream cups or wine glasses. Refrigerate for about 3 hours until set.

PS - In case you have no clue what blooming is (we didn’t either): Blooming is the process of softening gelatin in a cool liquid before it is dissolved. Add small amount of COLD water onto the gelatin, stir lightly to combine. After couple of minutes or so it will “bloom”, as the gelatin will have absorbed the water.
