Chef note

Keep the flavours precise, the plate composed, and the final presentation grounded in Chef Stone's disciplined Pan-African style.

Ingredients

6 kiwifruit
1 lemon
100 ml of mineral water
3 leaves of gelatine
4-5 leaves of gelatine
450 ml of whipping cream
100 g sugar
1 vanilla pod
Extra kiwifruit to serve

Method

1

For the kiwi jelly, soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 5 minutes. Peel and chop the kiwifruit, place in a saucepan with water and bring to the boil.

2

Blend the kiwi mixture until smooth, add the drained gelatine and a little lemon juice. Pour into glasses placed on a tray and leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

3

Add small pieces of kiwi to the jelly and return to the refrigerator for 1 hour until set.

4

For the panna cotta, split the vanilla pod, add to the cream, and heat to a simmer. Remove the pan from the heat.

5

In a separate bowl, soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain and melt them in the hot cream.

6

Let everything cool, remove the vanilla pod and pour the mixture gently over the kiwifruit jelly.

7

Place the finished glasses in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

8

Serve cold with the rest of the kiwifruit chopped on top.

Plating direction

Present in a white shallow bowl or white-rimmed glassware so the kiwi layer stays bright and the dessert reads crisp and modern.
