Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 tsp (7g) powdered gelatin
- 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 1/3 cup (80ml) honey
- 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 1/4 tsp (7g) of powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream, 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, 1/3 cup (80ml) honey, and 1 tbsp dried lavender.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat until it’s steaming but not boiling, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the lavender steep for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the lavender.
- Reheat the strained cream mixture slightly and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into ramekins or glasses. Let them cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- To serve, gently run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta and invert onto plates, or serve directly in the containers.
Notes
For a perfectly smooth panna cotta, strain the mixture carefully and avoid boiling the cream mixture. If the panna cotta doesn’t release easily, dip the ramekin briefly in warm water to loosen the edges.
