Skyr Panna Cotta With Coffee Syrup

INGREDIENTS 

1/2 cup whole milk

1 1/2tsps unflavored powdered gelatin 

1/2 cup heavy cream

2tbsps granulated sugar

1tsp pure vanilla extract 

1 cup plain Skyr yogurt 

FOR THE COFFEE SYRUP

1 cup granulated sugar 

1/2 cup water

2tbsp ground coffee

1/2tsp vanilla extract 

Pinch of flaky salt

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1

Place milk in a small mixing bowl; sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Let rest for about 5 minutes to soften 

STEP 2

In a small saucepan, combine the cream, sugar, vanilla. Set over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar- about 3-5 minutes. **Do not let boil**

STEP 3

Take the pan off the heat and whisk in the gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved. Check to see if gelatin is fully dissolved by rubbing the mixture between your fingers. If you feel any grittiness, set the pan back on the heat and cook a few minutes longer; whisk in the skyr. 

STEP 4

Pour in four 4-oz ramekins and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. 

STEP 5

Prepare the coffee syrup- mix water, sugar, and ground coffee into a bot and bring to a boil. 

STEP 6

Let simmer for 15 minutes until the mixture has a syrupy consistency, then strain and cool. Add the vanilla extract and keep in the fridge until ready to serve. 

STEP 7

Just before serving,  heat syrup in the microwave until just barely warm (~30 seconds). You can either invert the panna cotta onto a plate or serve in the ramekins. Drizzle a bit of coffee syrup and garnish with flaky salt. Serve immediately.
