Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2.5 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin powder
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 1.5 cups Fresh blackberries
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin mixture until fully dissolved.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring jug to remove the lemon zest.

Step 5

Divide the mixture evenly among six ramekins or serving glasses and let them cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Step 6

To make the blackberry sauce, combine the blackberries, honey, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the blackberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 7

Remove the blackberry sauce from heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired. Let it cool completely.

Step 8

When ready to serve, spoon the blackberry sauce over the chilled panna cotta and garnish with fresh blackberries or a sprig of mint if desired.
