Panna Cotta

Salted Orange Caramel

To Serve

  • 9 fresh figs, cut in wedges
  • Roasted macadamias, chopped
  • Lemon thyme sprigs
  1. Preheat oven to 160°C, fan-forced. Line two large oven trays with baking paper. Divide macadamias among trays. Roast, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes until golden. Cool on trays.
  2. Blend macadamias and water, in four batches, in a high-speed blender until very smooth. Strain mixture through a very fine sieve. Discard any solids. Transfer strained milk to a nut bag or fine sieve lined with muslin and strain milk again, pressing down lightly to extract as much milk as possible. You should have 2L macadamia milk.
  3. Put macadamia milk, sugar, vanilla bean paste and agar in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring until mixture comes to boil. Cook for 1 minute until sugar and agar dissolves. Combine arrowroot powder and tbs cold water in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk arrowroot mixture into hot milk mixture; bring to the boil and immediately remove from the heat. Divide mixture among 12 x 250 mL balloon glasses. Refrigerate for 1 hour until chilled and set. Cover and keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  4. For salted orange caramel, cook maple syrup in a large saucepan over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes until caramelised. Remove from the heat and stir in citrus zest juice, water and salt. Refrigerate until required.
  5. To serve, top panna cotta with fresh figs and macadamias. Drizzle with orange caramel and scatter with thyme sprigs.
