Lemon Panna Cotta With Blackberry Sauce Recipes

LEMON PANNA COTTA WITH BLACKBERRIES & HONEY MADELEINES

Steps:

• For the panna cotta, put 6 small pudding moulds (about 120ml each) on a baking tray. Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of very cold water (see tip, below) and set aside.
• Put the cream, milk and sugar into a large pan and bring slowly to the boil. When the cream is boiling, add the lemon juice and the lemon and lime zest and whisk well. Simmer for a few mins until reduced slightly, then turn off the heat.
• Scoop the softened gelatine out of the water and squeeze off any excess water. Stir into the hot cream, leave until just warm, then strain the cream into a jug. Carefully pour the mix into the moulds and place in the fridge for at least 5 hrs until completely set - overnight is ideal.
• To make the madeleines, beat the eggs with the sugar and honey until light and airy. Whisk in the flour and ground almonds until completely incorporated, then gradually whisk in the cooled, melted butter. The batter can be made several hrs in advance.
• To bake the madeleines, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Generously butter, then flour, the madeleine or bun tins. Spoon the batter into the tins and bake for 10-12 mins, depending on the size of the tins.
• When the madeleines are golden and baked all the way through, remove from the oven and leave to cool for 2 mins. Tip out of the tin and bake another batch, if you need to. Drizzle the blackberries with liqueur, if using.
• To unmould the panna cottas, run the tip of a knife around the edge of the mould. Dip the mould briefly into hot water until the filling just comes away from the sides. Use your fingers to gently loosen the panna cotta away from the edges of the mould. When you are confident that it will turn out, reverse the mould onto a serving plate and gently lift off, releasing the contents.
• To plate up, unmould a panna cotta in the middle of each plate, pouring over any melted mix from the mould. Arrange blackberries around half of the panna cotta. Place a few madeleines on the opposite side of the plate. Spoon over a little of the blackberry juices from the bowl and serve straight away.

LEMON PANNA COTTA WITH BLUEBERRIES

Steps:

• Lightly oil or spray six 6 ounce ramekins.
• Pour lemon juice in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin. Let sit for 5 minutes to soften the gelatin; mix well. Set aside.
• Stir together heavy cream, half and half, and lemon zest in a saucepan over low heat. Add sugar, stirring frequently, until sugar has dissolved completely. Heat mixture slowly until it just about to boil, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Whisk gelatin mixture and vanilla extract into the cream mixture until well blended and gelatin is completely dissolved. Keep lightly whisking until the mixture comes close to room temperature, about 10 minutes. This will prevent the gelatin and cream from separating while the panna cotta is setting.
• Divide mixture into ramekins, about 1/2 cup per portion. Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
• Run a knife around the inside edges of the ramekin to remove panna cotta from the ramekins. Carefully dip each ramekin into a bowl of hot water for a few seconds. Carefully invert onto serving plates, tap, and jiggle the ramekin a bit if needed for the panna cotta to come loose. Garnish with additional lemon zest and mint leaves, and serve with fresh blueberries.

BLACKBERRY LEMON PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• *Start this recipe the day before you plan to serve. In a cold saucepan, place coconut cream, honey, vanilla, and lemon oil. (Note: if coconut cream has separated in the can, give it a little whisk to combine.) Sprinkle gelatin over all. Let it all sit there for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to "bloom."
• Place saucepan over medium heat, and whisk gently until gelatin has melted, and all liquid is combined. Carefully pour into four 8-oz. ramekins. Refrigerate overnight. It is not necessary to cover them.
• On the day you want to serve, make the sauce. Place blackberries and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat. As the berries warm, mash them with a whisk. Once you have a good juice going (about 5 minutes), remove from heat.
• Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine sieve. Work the berries with a whisk so that more of the juice comes out of them, and you are left with seeds in the sieve. You should have about a 1/2 cup of juice. Clean out the saucepan of any bits, and return the juice to the pan.
• With the saucepan over medium high heat, whisk in honey, 1 tablespoon water, and lemon oil until well combined. When liquid is bubbly, whisk in arrowroot starch. As soon as it has thickened, remove from heat. If there are any lumps, keep whisking until they have disappeared. Let cool completely at room temperature, but do not refrigerate.
• To serve, place ramekins in a shallow baking dish of very warm (but not hot!) water for about 30 seconds. Remove ramekins, and wipe off the water. Run a knife around the edge of the panna cotta. Place a dessert dish upside down on the ramekin. Carefully invert so the custard turns out onto the plate. (If it won't come out, repeat this step.)
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of blackberry sauce on each panna cotta. Garnish with fresh berries, lemon zest shavings, or curled lemon zest.
