Panacota with Rhubarb Compote

As per the previous post - On my mind - weekend renovations, this Sunday our friend Tony came around to help hubby with the laundry plumbing.

While they toiled away, I started preparing lunch and close to lunchtime our son  Michael went to get our friend´s wife to join us for lunch.

I made stuffed chicken breasts (a Jamie Oliver recipe that I had recently seen on TV) ,white rice and Eggplant Parmigiana.

For dessert we had Panacota with stewed rhubarb, Gluten free Apple cake, and an Almond cake brought by our guest.

(forgot to take pic of the whole pudding in serving bowl)

Here is the Panacota recipe as everyone loves it.
(Recipe given to me by my sister in law Grace).
Below is the recipe for the Rhubarb compote.

 Ingredients:

 800ml low fat fresh cream

 250ml milk

 90 gr sugar

 1 teaspoon coffee essence (I usually use vanilla essence)

 1 tablespoon Philadelphia cheese (or cream cheese)

 100 gr white chocolate

 4 teaspoons powdered gelatin

 Boil the cream with the milk and add the coffee essence and sugar.

 Remove from the heat and stir in the broken pieces of chocolate, making sure it dissolves well.

 If it doesn´t put the pan over very low heat for a couple of minutes until it´s all dissolved.

 Out of the heat add the gelatine that has been previously dissolved in half a cup of cold water.

 Stir well and pour into a pretty serving bowl and let cool before putting in the fridge to set for 

 about 4 hours before serving.

 When serving pour over the warm Rhubarb compote.

 (You could also make a topping using 100gr of frozen berries, three spoons of sugar, 
  bring to boil and pour over dessert).
