Rum Strawberries & Coconut Cream Panna Cotta!

ARRGight ARRGight ARRGight… this is L I V I N. So, I call this the “Lip Smacker” because it tastes like strawberries and cream and makes your mouth say *SmAcK*!  I had some heavy cream and strawberries so I figured… hey, I can make something outta this. All I can say is dayum. When it comes to desserts, the sexiest ones for me are crème brulee and panna cotta.  (Reminder to self: maybe use this for sexy food play night.) It takes a little patience and needs to be real chill….if you get my drift.  I feel like this is a good pirate dessert hence the rum and coconut flavors. Also, t’would be a sweet ass Valentines day treat for the lovers. My recipe makes enough for 3 med wine glasses or 4-5 ramekins but who says you can’t just put it in a big ass bowl and eat it with your face. I don’t judge. No haters allowed.

…..in-greed-ients:

• 1 package gelatin (about 6 grams)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup thick coconut milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1tsp coconut extract
• 1/2 cup honey (buy local bitches)
• 2 tsp coconut shreds
• 1 lb strawberries (the big ass package)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• some kraken rum,http://www.krakenrum.com/ like a shot… then a few shots for you!

……the creamy magic:

1. Mix gelatin with 2 tsp water in a large mixing bowl and let it poof up for like 10 min while you do other shit
2. in a large sauce pan bring to a simmer: cream, coconut milk, and honey
3. when it starts to bubble, take off heat, allow to cool 5 min
4. add vanilla & coconut extract, gelatin & stir it up..
5. pour equal parts into 3 wine classes or 4-5 ramekins and set to chill (slanted or flat or what evs…might have to prop that shit up on something like wet paper towels in a bowl).
6. Just chill.  like 3-4 hours. Can leave over night. fuck it. Do a shot or 3.

……the rum sauce:

1. boil the washed and sliced strawberries, all accept for 3 of the prettiest ones
2. add honey and rum and smash with a muddler or a potato smasher. HULK SMASH & do a shot.
3. then blend in a food processor and chill until it thickens

Layer these sexy beauties when you are ready to serve.  Sprinkle the coconut shavings on top.  Slice the prettiest berries in half and cut a V into the tops to make hearts and stick’em on the side of the glass or slap’em right on top of what ever you poured it into. Now try not to make inappropriate moaning noises whilst eating this. Good luck with that.

 

Cherry bombs with lemon sugar

Yes… I know any old scurv can make jell-o, but you would be surprised how many people don’t use the correct ingredients. It’s supposed to have RUM, come on people. The trick to getting ALL your friends to “lick them out” instead of digging around with their fingers like cave people, is Rim them with Lemon Sugar. This pic shows them with the lemon sugar on top…that’s because I had too much rum whilst making them and almost forgot. I know, I know. Ammature.  Great for parties and even just for a Friday night alone…. with the kids. Like tonight. Drink up me hearties yoho!

….in-greed-ients

• 2 packs of cherry jell-O
• 1 bottle of rum – my favorite is http://www.krakenrum.com/ (yes you need the whole bottle…you will make more some day)
• cold water (that shit comes right out of the sink, its amazing)
• 2 lemons
• 1/3 cup sugar
• a rimmer – yea like the margarita things.. this Is important or you will have to just drop the sugar on top like the pic.http://www.amazon.com/DOZENEGG-Margarita-Cocktail-Glass-Rimmer/dp/B000FUJ2LI
• red bing cherries sliced in half and pitted
• roses lime juice
• shot cups from party store & a tray or 3 to put them on in fridge

…..Suga suga

1. zest lemons into a cup
2. mix zest with a little lemon juice…not  a lot.
3. mix with sugar, stir it up little darling
4. freeze over night so the sugar becomes “infused”

The magic:

1. boil 2 cups water
2. set cups out on the trays (like 30 or so… I actually never counted.. whoops)
3. drop a cherry half in each cup (drink a shot)
4. add 2 packages of Jell-O to the boiled water (now turned off and taken off heat) and stir
5. add 2 cups rum (drink a shot)
6. pour into cups but don’t fill to top
7. chill over night  (do shots!)
8. with roses lime juice in it, then dip into the lemon sugar
9. serve them hush puppies!
10. Do a demonstration on how to properly do a Jell-O shot. like this dirty little devil here

Hopefully you made some boring non alchie ones for the kids… if not.. bad form! They like Jell-O shots too.
