Instructions
To Prepare Vanilla Panna Cotta
- Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.
- Heat the Cream Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Add Gelatin and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add the vanilla flavoring and stir to combine.
- Pour into Molds: Pour the mixture into ramekins or silicone molds. Let them cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
To Prepare the Morello Cherry and Blueberry Sauce
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the Morello cherry puree, blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water. Stir well.
- Cook the Sauce: Heat the mixture over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Once the fruit mixture begins to simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry.
- Thicken the Sauce: Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Assemble Dessert
- Unmold the Panna Cotta: To serve, run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta and gently unmold it onto a serving plate.
- Add the Fruit Sauce: Spoon the cooled Morello cherry and blueberry sauce over the top of each panna cotta.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh blueberries, cherries, or a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately. Add a touch of patriotic flair with the USA EMbossed Star Trio.
