Who wants some Panna Cotta with Red Wine Syrup?

Here is a simple dessert that I have been meaning to try for quite some time now. I have some left over gelatin and red wine and have mulled over what to do with them.

Here is the recipe:

Panna Cotta

Combine 1 pack Alsa Clear Gelatin (ehem, Unilever) with half cup of water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved.  Lower heat and add one can of evaporated milk. (Tip: you may replace the water and evaporated milk with 1 and 3/4 cup of full cream milk but do not bring to a boil this time.)  Stir constantly until fully blended. Add a half cup of cream. Place the mixture in dessert cups and let cool in room temperature to set. Once cooled transfer to the chiller.

Red wine syrup

Combine one half cup red wine with one half cup of sugar in a sauce pan. Let this simmer until sugar dissolves.

Place the panna cotta on a plate by loosening the edges and giving the cup a tap. Drizzle with red wine syrup and enjoy.

Tip:  Red wine syrup also goes well with fruits or ice cream.
