{Recipe} Peaches and Cream Panna Cotta

18 · Apr 16, 2018 · 15 Comments

Is there anything more lovely than a good, juicy, ripe peach? Quite honestly, I think that is one of my favorite summertime LOVES!!  I have fond memories of my dad cutting up a peach and putting it in a bowl with a little pinch of sugar and a splash of cream… heaven in a bowl. Well, I’ve kicked it up a notch. Another love of mine is Peaches and Cream Panna Cotta. What is this you ask? (This post has been updated, it was originally posted August 24, 2011)

What is Panna Cotta

Jump to Recipe

The first time I had Panna Cotta was at an Italian Resturant in Colorado where I grew up. I  don’t know what inspired me to try something new but, I’m so glad that I did! When it arrived at the table it was a smooth, glass-surfaced dessert with a raspberry sauce on one side topped with berries and whipped cream. It was so intriguing. It didn’t look like pudding or custard, nor did it look like gelatin. I tasted my first bite and was hooked instantly. It was cool dessert, perfect for those hot summer nights. It’s creamy and sweet and pairs nicely with chocolate, caramel, or a whole host of fruits.  It’s basically an eggless custard made with decadent cream and gelatin and it’s divine. Panna Cotta is the perfect blank canvas to create the perfect dessert with. We like to top it off with some fresh summer peaches and that’s it. No need for whipped cream or anything else. The Summer peaches are perfect with the divine Panna Cotta!

Peaches and Cream Panna Cotta

Author Heather Thoming • WhipperBerry

Yield 6-8 servings

Peaches + Cream is truly Summer heaven. Team them up with the creamy eggless custard called Panna Cotta and you'll have a real Summer crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 2 cups creme fraiche
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon powdered gelatin
  • 2 peaches
  • 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • a pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

Place the cream, milk and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Split and scrape the vanilla seeds from the bean. Add both the seeds and the pod to the milk. When the milk mixture begins to simmer, shut off the heat and whisk in the creme fraiche.

You will then need to strain the mixture and return to the pot. Add the gelatin and whisk until dissolved. Pour the mixture into 8 (1 cup) ramekins and set aside to come to room temperature. Cover and place in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 3 hours preferably overnight.

Now for the peaches...

Cut them into small bite size pieces and place in a small sauce pan along with the sugar and nutmeg.  Cook over medium heat for about five minutes until sugar is dissolved and peaches have cooked down a bit, but not too much.  Let cool and then top the panna cotta with the cooled peach mixture. Sit back and ENJOY the best peaches and cream you'll ever have!

Farmhouse Black and White Striped Home Decor • Winter Decoration Idea

6 · Dec 1, 2017 · Leave a Comment

I love dressing my front porch for the season rather than the holiday most of the time. Less turnover, less expensive & I just love celebrating the seasons. Here is my Fall front porch and I’m still in love with it but, it’s time to turn the season and start working on my winter front porch. One of the elements that I love for winter is a vintage sled that I found at a garage sale. I dressed it up with some greenery and some large bells that I found at Michaels. However, I didn’t want them to just be simple bells. I want them to stand out! I busted out some Americana Decor Satin Enamels and added my own special touch to the bells. Come see how I transformed them just a touch but added some real WOW factor.

+ The post brought to you by DecoArt +It’s so easy to take a simple object and give it a little extra class. I used some Americana Decor Satin Enamels and added my own special touch to these fun bells. Come see how I transformed them just a touch but added some real WOW factor.

Design Decisions

I’ve been in love with black and white LONG before Joanna Gains hit the scene. That has always been my color profile with a touch of red or green at times. I love that it’s so popular now. Those are two colors (or, non-colors) that are simply timeless and classic. I’ve also been a huge fan of stripes. They also, if done well, have a timeless quality too. They are perfect to add to a metal tray or a wood side table to add that classic farmhouse look to your home.

I wanted to add some timeless elements to this beautiful sled and greenery. When I found the large bells at Michaels, I knew that was the ticket. However, I wanted to put my own stamp on it so that I don’t look like everyone else on the block.

I guess that has always been my MO (method of operation.) I’m totally fine gathering fun things at Michaels, Target or Home Goods lets say, and then putting my own simple touches on them. That’s why I LOVE the Americana Decor collection. For this project I used the Americana Decor Satin Enamels in Pure White and Classic Black. I selected this paint for a few reasons.

  • I love the smooth satin finish
  • How easily it adheres to slick surfaces without any priming
  • This paint acts more like and enamel rather than a paint and I love that look for this application
  • Smooth brushability
  • Minimizes grain raising on wood
  • Non-toxic
  • Soap and water clean-upIt’s so easy to take a simple object and give it a little extra class. I used some Americana Decor Satin Enamels and added my own special touch to these fun bells. Come see how I transformed them just a touch but added some real WOW factor.

Materials

  • wood or metal home decor item
  • DecoArt Americana Decor Satin Enamels in your color choice
  • sponge brushes in the size of the stripe that you desire
  • painters tape (optional)

Instructions

This project is crazy simple. It just requires some patients and a slightly steady hand. I don’t have the perfect artist hand and I managed to create these simple stripes just fine. My secret… I use foam brushes instead of your typical bristle brush. This eliminates the bristle spread that you typically get when painting with a traditional brush. I just buy the size foam brush that matches the size of stripe that I am looking for. You may find that you need painters tape and thats totally fine. With my round surface it was almost easier to follow the line on the bells using my brush as the stripe guide than it was to tape it.

It’s so easy to take a simple object and give it a little extra class. I used some Americana Decor Satin Enamels and added my own special touch to these fun bells. Come see how I transformed them just a touch but added some real WOW factor.

It may not look like a perfect stripe here but, after I go around the bell a few more times it looks better. I’m not really wanting a nice crisp line anyway. I like the more rustic imperfect look.

It’s so easy to take a simple object and give it a little extra class. I used some Americana Decor Satin Enamels and added my own special touch to these fun bells. Come see how I transformed them just a touch but added some real WOW factor.

I did layer about 4 coats of the Satin Enamel so that I had solid coverage.

Then, after the white is totally dry, I carefully used a flat brush that was the size of the small stripe that I was looking for to create the small black stripe. This one, you need to be careful and watch for the bristle spread. Again, I wasn’t looking for perfect and I LOVE how they turned out.It’s so easy to take a simple object and give it a little extra class.

Once they were completely dry, I waited overnight, I affixed them to the sled.

First, using floral wire, I wired the greenery onto the sled with some floral wire.

I then made a bow out of some red and black buffalo plaid ribbon that I found at Michaels and wired it to the sled as well.

Aren’t they fun? What would you like to add a little black and white farmhouse flair to?

By the way… My front door is painted with the Americana Decor Curb Appeal Paint. I LOVE it!! I’ll have to share how I did that soon. You’ll be amazed!

9 · Aug 30, 2017 · 3 Comments

Summer is coming to a close and it’s time to start thinking about Fall decor! This DIY Fall Throw Pillow is Perfect for your front porch or any room in the house!

Come make this simple Fall throw pillow with the fun "Oh, Delicious Fall" design by WhipperBerry. This is created with the Cricut Maker & Easy Press along with the Cricut Heat Transfer Material.

{ This post brought to you by • Cricut }

It’s time to start decorating for Fall and I’m over the moon excited to finally have a front porch that I can decorate! I’ve been working on all kinds of projects for the porch design and today I’m going to show you one of the elements. My DIY Fall throw pillow with the cute saying, “Oh, Delicious Fall.” Earlier today if you have been following my Story on Instagram… You watched live, how easy it is to make this simple accent pillow with the new Cricut Maker & Easy Press along with the Cricut Heat Transfer Material. It’s sooooo cool!!

The Cricut MAKER

You guys… I know you’ve seen all the buzz around the creative world about the new Cricut Maker and Cricut Easy Press. I’m here to tell you, everything you’ve heard is legit. These two new machines are game changers in the creative world. I’m sure you’ve seen some of the stuff the new Cricut Maker can do, it cuts…

  • fabric { without any type of backing }
  • felt
  • leather
  • balsa and bass wood
  • crepe paper
  • chip board
  • mat board
  • and the list goes on and on…

The engineers at Cricut have come up with an adaptive cutting tool system that is truly inspired. They have also dramatically increased the cutting power which allows for all of the new materials. They’ve increased the cutting power 10x… That’s seriously impressive! Here are some of the displays with amazing vignettes all created with the Cricut Maker for the launch event earlier this month.

Well, enough about that… Let’s get to work on the Fall throw pillow. Now keep in mind, I am using the new Cricut Maker but, you can use any of the Cricut cutting machines like the Cricut Air 2 for this project. We are using the Cricut Heat Transfer Material that any of those machines can handle just fine. Also, I am using the Cricut Easy Press, which is FABULOUS!! But, you won’t be left out in the cold if you don’t have an Easy Press yet… You can use your iron to create this accent pillow as well.

Instructions for the DIY Fall Throw Pillow

Materials needed:

  • pillow cover
  • pillow form
  • Cricut Iron-On Lite – black
  • Cricut Light Grip cutting mat
  • Cricut cutting machine
  • Cricut Easy Press or an Iron
  • light cotton towel
  • Cricut Design Space

Directions:

First, you need to download the “Oh, delicious Fall” design that I’ve created for this pillow.

Then you’ll need to upload it into Design Space…

Working in Cricut Design Space

You’ll do that by clicking on the upload button on the left side of the screen.

upload in cricut design space-100

Now, the design is already sized for your standard 15 inch throw pillow but you can size it larger or smaller if you like. You will also need to add the maple leaf from the image library. I searched for a maple leaf in the search bar and then selected the leaf below. You could always select whatever image you like.

Cricut Maple Leaf-100

Size and place the leaf into the design and then you need to select your designs and then Weld them together and then Attach them to your “cutting mat.”

weld your design-100

Now, it’s time to “Make It” by clicking on the Make It button at the top right of the screen. When working with iron-on material, you need to make sure that you mirror the design so that it cuts properly.

Now, you need to place your Cricut Iron-On light onto your cutting mat. Make sure to follow the package directions for how to place it on your mat. Basically, the shiny side needs to be placed face down on the mat. If you were following my Instagram Story, you would have seen that I don’t bother to cut the material off of the roll until I have finished cutting my design. It cuts down on waste and makes it easier to remove your design from the cutting mat. All you need to do is roll it right back up. It’s super slick.

How to load your Cricut Iron-On Lite onto your cutting mat.

Now, you need to load your mat into the machine, connect your machine to your computer, iPad or other mobil device via Bluetooth and then select your material that you will be cutting.

Click on Iron-On and you’re all set to cut…

Once you have finished the cutting process, you’ll need to weed your iron-on vinyl to remove the excess material.

Oh,-Delicious-Fall-Pillow-Cricut-Maker-Cricut-Easy-Press-WhipperBerry-13

While you are weeding your iron-on vinyl, you’ll want to pre-heat your Cricut Easy Press or your iron so that you’re ready to go once you’ve finished weeding.

The NEW Cricut MAKER and the Cricut Easy Press

I have found a setting of 350˚ for about 50 seconds usually does the trick when I’m working with the Cricut Iron-On Lite. The nice thing about the easy press is that is has nice consistent temperature over the entire base. Check this out…

This is showing the heat variance with a traditional iron. That’s why some people have been frustrated in the past with creating iron-on projects. You don’t have to worry about that anymore with the Easy Press. It has a large 9×9 inch plate which is AWSOME!! That’s how you’ll achieve professional results without investing in a bulking and expensive heat press machine. It’s light weight and easy to store which is a total bonus.

First, I pre-heat my pillow cover, this helps to start the iron-on process with the vinyl. Plus, it irons out any wrinkles in your pillow cover.

Oh,-Delicious-Fall-Pillow-Cricut-Maker-Cricut-Easy-Press-WhipperBerry-16

Oh, I also use a portable ironing blanket that you can find at Walmart or Target in the laundry section. It’s perfect for protecting your surface while you’re using the Easy Press.

Now, center your design on your pillow cover.

Oh,-Delicious-Fall-Pillow-Cricut-Maker-Cricut-Easy-Press-WhipperBerry-17

Cover your design with a light cotton tea towel.

Oh,-Delicious-Fall-Pillow-Cricut-Maker-Cricut-Easy-Press-WhipperBerry-18

And then, place the Easy Press onto your design with the timer set for 50 seconds and press the Cricut button to start the timer. Lightly press on the Easy Press and wait for the timer to go off.

Now, my design was a little larger than the 9×9 plate so I did it a few times to make sure I had transferred the entire design onto my pillow cover. Then I removed the protective plastic cover, replaced the towel and then did one more go with the Easy Press to make sure everything was set.

That was it! I put the pillow form into the pillow cover and voilá… I had a fun accent piece for my new front porch bench.

How simple is that? If you don’t have a Cricut machine or the Cricut Easy Press… I would for sure start dropping hints to Santa pronto! This is a new era for creating and these are the must have tools!!
