I tried to make Azuki flavoured Panna Cotta. I mixed Panna Cotta mixture with Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste). It was supposed to be a creamy burgundy coloured jelly, but the mixture set in such a pretty gradation of colour because Azuki Paste is heavy, especially the unbroken beans are heavy. Unfortunately it is hard to see in the photo.

  1. Sprinkle Gelatine Powder into Water in a small bowl and soak for 5-10 minutes.

  3. Add soaked Gelatine, mix well until gelatine dissolves. Add Cream and Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste), and mix to combine very well.
