Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 packet (2.5 teaspoons) Unflavored gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for blueberry sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water (for blueberry sauce)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes until it softens.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and lemon zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk. Mix well to combine.
Pour the mixture evenly into 6 small ramekins or serving glasses. Allow the panna cotta to cool slightly at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
While the panna cotta is chilling, prepare the blueberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water over medium heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer to a container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, remove the panna cotta from the refrigerator, top with a generous spoonful of blueberry sauce, and garnish with fresh lemon zest or a few extra blueberries if desired.
