 Super Bowl parties and a touchdown dessert:
\n<\/strong>ch\u00e8vre and grapefruit panna cotta<\/strong><\/p>\n

In my experience, both as a guest and as a caterer, there are two truths about Super Bowl<\/span> parties. The first is that the food served primarily consists of hand to mouth heavy foods that involve meat, sauces, and dips (chili<\/span> is allegedly the favorite). The second is that throughout the game, the guests tend to break off into groups and the division is generally gender based. The gorgeous weather and the markets filled with citrus inspired me to bring a little lightness to your Super Bowl plates with something all party guests will enjoy, no matter the room they end up in, and so ch\u00e8vre and grapefruit panna cotta<\/em><\/span>, is this week\u2019s simple pleasure<\/em><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Panna cotta (in Italian \u201ccooked cream\u201d) is easy to make and perfect for large gatherings because you can do it in advance and serve it chilled. While panna cotta can be garnished with a variety of things, including syrups, honey, fresh fruit, nuts and\/or sauces, this recipe uses pink grapefruit…proof that you can do something delicious with grapefruit that extends beyond halving it for breakfast.<\/span><\/p>\n

The active time for this recipe is 10 minutes. After blooming the gelatin, you dissolve it in heated cream. The cooked cream is then whisked into the grapefruit, honey and goat cheese combination. Pour the mixture into ramekins<\/span>, place it in the refrigerator and forget about it until you are ready to serve it. <\/span><\/p>\n

I served this dessert in my classes this week. It was an interesting week because my classes were either filled completely with men or completely filled with women. The gender breakdown reminded me of Super Bowl parties. Both genders liked the dessert equally so I thought the recipe was something good to \u201cpass\u201d to all of you. As a Super Bowl host at least you know you will have a touchdown dessert that will give your party a favorable finish, no matter which team wins, or in which room your guests congregate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Je vous souhaite un bon app\u00e9tit !<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
