Introduction
An egg-free classic Italian dessert made by gently heating cream, sugar, and vanilla, then setting it with bloomed gelatin. It is served chilled, unmolded with a signature jiggle, and topped with a homemade chunky blueberry lemon sauce and fresh mint.
Step 1
In a skillet, combine the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, squeezed lemon halves, and about 1/2 cup of water. Place the pan over the stove to simmer.
Step 2
Submerge 4 sheets of gelatin in a container of cold water to bloom.
Step 3
In a saucepan, add 2 cups of whipping cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Step 4
Place the cream mixture over heat and warm it until just before it reaches a boil, whisking occasionally.
Step 5
Check on the simmering blueberry sauce and lightly crush the berries with a fork to burst them slightly without puréeing completely.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Do not let the cream boil; take it off the heat right before it reaches a rolling boil before adding the bloomed gelatin.
Blooming the gelatin sheets in cold water ensures they soften evenly and dissolve within seconds into the hot cream.
Dipping the chilled ramekin in hot water for around 15 seconds melts the outermost layer slightly, allowing the dessert to slide out cleanly onto the plate.
Both the panna cotta and the blueberry sauce can be made a day in advance for effortless serving at dinner parties.
