Another single portion, another different glaze … ..red berries glaze.
A white chocolate panna cotta.
A light one, not so thick like I wanted it to be, but a glaze able to give a pleasant taste and a nice color.
The cranberries shortcrust pastry is the perfect combination with the not too sweet panna cotta, giving a little “crispness” to the dessert.
A simple but tasty treat.

With a rolling pin, roll the pastry between two sheets of baking paper, 3 mm. thick, and with a round cookies cutter 3 inche (8 cm.) shape the cookies.

Finely chop white chocolate.
In a medium sauce pan, heat heavy cream (do not boil).
Remove from the heat, add chocolate, wring gently gelatin sheets to remove excess water,

Let simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring from time to time.
Remove from the heat and let cool lightly.
When the glaze reaches 158 F - 70°C, wring gently gelatin sheets to remove excess water, then add to the warm liquid and stir to melt.
Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
Use the glaze to 86 F - 30°C.

Spread some drops of glaze on the cookie, lay the glazed panna cotta .
Refrigerate for 6-8 hours before serving.
Notes
Shortcrust pastry: With the pastry you will get 13 pieces.
To get 6, you can halve the recipe.
If you do not use cookies immediately, you can freeze.
Glaze: I suggest to glaze at 77F – 25°C, so that it covers better the panna cotta.
Keep the glaze at a changeless temperature…..otherwise, you will have 2 different colors, like me.
