Milo Mud Panna Cotta Slice

Milo Mud Panna Cotta Slice recipe

If you frequent my site you will be aware that I have baked with quite a few ingredients that you’ll find in any household that’s not traditionally used for baking, Ovaltine and chai powder to name a few. Milo (malt powder) is one that I haven’t experimented with yet, thus I decided to make a Milo based mud cake.

Unfortunately the cake was way too dense and rock solid on the outside, therefore to save it I blitzed the cake up with some cocoa powder and rolled the mix into balls covered with chocolate. However as tasty as the malt balls were they were a bit too boring and not special enough to warrant being placed on the site.

So I went back to the drawing board and tweaked the cake recipe to be stable, while brownie like in texture. As milo is best in combination with milk, to complement the rich Milo brownie I decided to make a ‘milk’ like panna cotta as a second layer to resemble a glass of Milo.

This slice actually tastes like a glass of cold Milo and we all know how super tasty that is.

Ingredients:

Cake:

  • 190g cup butter
  • 140 cup sugar
  • 150g Milo
  • 3 eggs
  • 185ml vanilla yoghurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 230g plain flour
  • ¼ tsn salt

Panna Cotta topping:

  • 400ml cream
  • 40g sugar
  • 2 tsn vanilla essence
  • 2 tsn gelatin

 

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 and line a 30cm square slice cake tin with baking paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar in an electric mixer for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the milo to the sugar mix and beat until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, the yoghurt and then the vanilla.
  5. In a separate bowl mix the flour and the salt until combined.
  6. Slowly add the dry mix to the wet mixture a little at a time, beating in between each addition until a thick creamy batter is formed.
  7. Place the batter in the cake tin, using a spoon to flatten the top and bake for 60 minutes or until the cake is cooked through when you test it with a skewer.
  8. While the cake is cooling you can make the topping by placing 100ml of the cream, vanilla and sugar into a saucepan on a medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  9. Add the gelatin and whisk with a hand whisk until the gelatin is smooth and dissolved into the cream mix and boiling.
  10. Pour the remaining cream into a bowl and pour in the hot mix through a sieve.
  11. Whisk the cream mix with electric beaters until well combine and place thein the fridge for 20 minutes to thicken.
  12. Stir the cream mix and pour over the top of the milo, leaving in the fridge for 3 hours to set.
  13. To serve remove the slice from the tin and slice into bite sized slices.

Yoghurt Panna Cotta with Honey Figs Syrup

Yoghurt Panna Cotta with Honey Figs Syrup

Yoghurt Panna Cotta with Honey Figs Syrup recipe

I recently went through a phase where I wanted to make ‘healthy’ desserts, but without using super expensive ingredients or ingredients that are difficult to find.

On top of this I didn’t want them to be too hard to make, I wanted to make the recipe easy for anyone to pick up and master. Additionally, I wanted people to be able to zip into Coles for ingredients and make a simply tasty and not KJ (calorie) heavy dessert.

This Panna Cotta recipe uses low fat yoghurt and milk instead of fattening cream and honey to add some extra sweetness.

The figs provide some beautiful flavor and sweetness (especially being soaked in honey).

 

Ingredients:

Panna Cotta:

  • 120ml low fat milk
  • 2 tsn honey
  • 2 tsn vanilla essence
  • 2 + ¼ tsn gelatine
  • 480ml low fat vanilla yoghurt

Syrup:

  • 120ml honey
  • 200ml water
  • 320g figs (around 5 figs)

 

Method:

  1. Spray 4 x 250ml cup ramekins with oil spray.
  2. Place the milk, honey and vanilla essence in a bowl and heat in the microwave until boiling, stir to combine.
  3. Add the gelatine and beat until smooth with no lumps.
  4. Add the yoghurt and whisk to combine.
  5. Pour the mix evenly between the 4 ramekins and place in the fridge to set for 4 hours.
  6. Meanwhile, make the figs cut up the figs into 6 pieces vertically and place in a saucepan.
  7. Add the honey and water to the saucepan and heat on high on the stove.
  8. Stir constantly until the figs are soft and a syrup has formed (will take around 5 minutes on high/medium heat).
  9. Place the syrup and figs into a bowl and leave aside to cool completely.
  10. Once the Panna Cotta has set turn out onto a plate and top with the cooled figs and cooled syrup. Serve.
