Method

  1. Cut the peel and white pith from the lemons using a knife. Juice enough lemons to get 1/3 cup of juice and set it aside.

  2. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the lemon peel and boil for 5 minutes. Drain and repeat this process two more times. Let the peel cool and then slice it lengthwise into thin strips, and then crosswise in half.

  3. In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, mix the sugar, reserved 1/3 cup of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of water until the sugar dissolves. Add the peel, bring it to a simmer, and cook until the mixture is reduced to 2/3 cup and an instant-read thermometer reads 225°, which should take about 10 minutes. This step can be done up to 2 weeks ahead, just cover and chill.

  4. Pour 1/2 cup of milk into a medium bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it sit for about 15 minutes until the gelatin softens.

  5. In a large saucepan, combine the cream, sugar, lemon peel, and the remaining 1/2 cup of milk. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the saucepan and add the bean. Whisk the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and let it steep for 10 minutes.

  6. Bring the cream

Frequently asked questions

Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh lemons?

Can I make this dessert in advance?

Absolutely! In fact, making this dessert ahead of time allows the flavors to develop even more. Just make sure to store the panna cotta and marmalade separately and assemble them right before serving.

Can I substitute gelatin with agar-agar?

Yes, you can use agar-agar as a vegetarian alternative to gelatin. Follow the instructions on the agar-agar package for the correct substitution ratio.

Can I use a different type of citrus fruit?

Absolutely! This recipe works well with other citrus fruits like oranges or limes. Feel free to experiment and create your own unique flavor combinations.

Can I add a garnish to the panna cotta?

Of course! Fresh mint leaves, lemon zest, or a dollop of whipped cream make excellent garnishes for this dessert. Get creative and make it your own.

How long does the panna cotta need to set?

The panna cotta needs at least four hours to set properly in the refrigerator. Overnight is even better, as it allows the flavors to fully develop.
