Summer Lovin’: Orange Panna Cotta with Sautéed Piña Colada

Can’t wait. Can’t wait. Can’t wait! I can’t wait for summer and I want to shout it to the world! Slow down, you say. Enjoy Spring with it’s gorgeous flowers and cool breezes; take it one day at a time. But after this very mild winter, I am still aching for hot days and warm breezes. Call me crazy, but I was born and raised on a Caribbean island where the normal temperature was 80F, all day, every day. I miss the heat, the warm weather, the constantly chilled beverages, ice cream flavors, and for those of us over the age of 21, those summer beers taste better than any other season beer!

Thus, I bring you an Orange Panna Cotta with Sautéed Piña Colada. Doesn’t it just LOOK like summer?! The gorgeously bright pineapple and the stark white panna cotta are the perfect complement to each other. Although pure white, the panna cotta is laced with Wild Bean Orange Extract, a pure essence that infuses the cream in such an intense way that you’d think it’s pure orange juice! I definitely recommend this extract if you’re looking for full orange flavor without the added artificial mess. Panna Cotta was the perfect vessel for it, since it showcased the flavor and allowed for the bright citrus to shine. Head on over to Wild Bean Vanilla and browse their extracts section for more intense flavors.

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, heat milk and sprinkle gelatin.

The Fire Island Cookbook is the perfect book to cook from between Memorial Day and Labor Day. That’s basically the season we are the busiest on Martha’s Vineyard, as well as the Hamptons, Fire Island, the Florida Keys, and other. It’s also the season when we’re all sharing great food with friends and families: potlucks, dinner parties, pool parties, and barbeques turn our days into endless fun!
Mike and Jeff have authored a book that’s divided into “themes” or better yet, foodie occasions! Some of my favorites are Noche Caliente Spanish Dinner, Peak Summer Produce, Paella Beach Party, and Labor Day Caribbean Barbeque. Each occasion creates an event all around the food, sharing recipes that cover all the bases from appetizers to dessert, and extra nibbles in between. The recipes read like poetry that your summer loves would read to you during the balmy nights (or maybe that’s Grease, the movie?), but you get the idea. Recipes are paired with recommended wines, because they ARE the World Wine Guys! Be sure to enter the giveaway below or grab your own copy over on Amazon. I predict it will be THE cookbook this summer!
The Sautéed Piña Colada is from this cookbook and sure to be a hit with your guests this summer. Fresh pineapples soaked in rum, and then sauteed with brown sugar and tossed with shaved coconut make a great topping to desserts such as this panna cotta, as well as ice creams and cakes!

One winner chosen randomly out of all the comments, so be sure to leave an email to contact you if you win. Prizes will be shipped separately to winner.
