Blueberry Lemon Panna Cotta
Yields
6 x 4oz portions
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (225 g) B.C. blueberries, fresh or frozen
- ⅓ cup (75 g) Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Lemon zest
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Lemon juice
- 2 cups (480 ml) Heavy cream, minimum 35% milk fat
- ⅓ cup (75 g) Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Lemon zest
- 2 tbsp (15 ml) Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Lavender buds
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Gelatin
- 1 cup (240 ml) Buttermilk
Directions
- In a saucepan boil the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice on medium heat for 10-15 minutes until thickened, yet still saucy. Stir frequently, breaking down the blueberries with the back of a spoon.
- Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture to the bottom of six 4 ounce glasses, save half for the topping. Place the glasses in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the panna cotta mixture.
- In a saucepan, heat the cream, sugar, lemon zest, juice and lavender. Stir frequently until it just starts to boil, turn heat off and cover to keep warm.
- In a large bowl sprinkle the gelatin over the buttermilk, let stand for a minute then whisk.
- Strain the warm cream mixture into the gelatin buttermilk mixture and whisk to blend. Transfer to a spouted measuring cup for pouring.
- Gently pour the mixture over the back of a spoon into the glasses until three-quarters full, being careful not to disturb the blueberry mixture in the bottom.
- Refrigerate covered for a minimum of 3 hours.
- Once chilled, top with the remaining blueberry sauce and serve.
