Carrot Panna Cotta

Carrot Panna Cotta is one of my favorite desserts! So creamy and delicious. I’m aware it isn’t a traditional recipe but after years of playing around with it, this is the recipe I developed and love and now I’ve added carrot cake flair!

carrot cake panna cotta
Prep 20 minutes
Setting time 6 hours
Total 6 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1.5 cup carrot juice, fresh squeezed. If store bought make sure it isn't sweetened.
  • 2 envelopes gelatin
  • 3/4 cup condensed milk
  • 1 orange, zest
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1.5 sticks cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • Pecans, to taste

Bourbon Butterscotch

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 5 tbsp brown butter
  • 3/4 oz bourbon
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp agave syrup

Instructions

  • First, add the carrot juice to a bowl & sprinkle the gelatin over it to bloom for 10 minutes.
  • Secondly, add the cream, vanilla, condensed milk, salt, sugar, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon sticks and orange zest to a pot. Heat up without boiling.
  • Once hot, carefully whisk in the gelatin until fully dissolved. Let it sit to cool for about 20 minutes.
  • In a large bowl add the cream cheese, strain in 1/3 cup of the carrot cream mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Strain in the cream a bit at a time so you don’t get lumps.
  • Divide into 8 single serve cups (I used disposable).
  • Let them sit in the fridge for 6 hours to overnight to set.
  • Add the brown butter, sugar, cream, agave, cinnamon and salt to a saucepan and mix. Bring to a simmer and let it simmer on low for 12 minutes or so. Make sure no graininess is left. Turn heat off, add bourbon and whisk to burn alcohol off 1-2 minutes.
  • Lastly, un-mold the panna cotta and top with the butterscotch and toasted pecans.
