Ingredients

• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Panna Cotta

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
2. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
4. Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
5. Once the panna cotta is set, top each serving with fresh blueberries and garnish with mint leaves if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the gelatin is completely dissolved for a smooth texture.
• Allow enough time for the panna cotta to set in the refrigerator.
• For a more intense lemon flavor, add additional lemon zest.
• Use fresh blueberries for the best taste and presentation.

Easy Variations

• Substitute half of the heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
• Add a splash of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.
• Mix in other berries like raspberries or strawberries for a colorful twist.
• Drizzle with honey or maple syrup before serving for added sweetness.

What to Serve With It

• A light fruit salad for a refreshing contrast
• Shortbread cookies for a crunchy texture
• A glass of sparkling wine or lemonade for a celebratory touch
• Whipped cream for added indulgence
