Instructions
- In a medium pan, mix milk, cream, sugar, orange zest and Fennel Seeds.
- Place on a medium heat, stirring regularly until it is steaming.
- While the above mix comes up to a steaming point, soak your gelatine in enough icy water to submerge. It should soften and be pilable.
- Remove the pan from the heat and squeeze out bloomed gelatine and add to the pan, whisk in until dissolved. Leave to infuse for 30 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Strain the mix through a sieve and into a jug.
- Decant the mix into 4 dariole molds and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
- 2 hours before you want to serve, add the strawberries and marinade ingredients to a bowl, mix and cover and leave to infuse for 1-2 hours.
- Serve the panna cottas with macerated strawberries and shortbread.
