plated panna cotta
Cookies Ingredients

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons pink peppercorns

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Juice of ½ lemon

¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup sugar

2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons corn syrup

5 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon cardamom powder

1½ teaspoons curry powder

Cookies Technique
  1.  Preheat oven to 200ºF. Combine sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan, bring to a boil. Add peppercorns, simmer for 1 minute, and reserve for garnish.
  2. Strain, dry, and place on a baking sheet. Bake until dry and crisp but still vibrant in color. 
  3. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Combine sugar, cream, corn syrup, and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil and sugar dissolves.
  4. Continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in flour, salt, cardamom, and curry powder.
  5. Once cool, scoop rounded teaspoons and place on a silicone mat or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving 3-4 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10 minutes or until evenly golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
  6. Serve the chilled panna cotta with a scoop of the pineapple salad, a curry-cardamom lace cookie, and garnish with the candied peppercorns.
