Strawberry vanilla panna cotta
SERVES 4
So simple to make and absolutely gorgeous to eat.
200g very ripe strawberries
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup milk
2 gelatine leaves (or 1 tsp powdered gelatine dissolved in 2 tbsp boiling water)
150g thick Greek yoghurt Whipped cream, to serve
2 tbsp toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
1 Blitz the strawberries (save a few for garnishing), syrup and vanilla in a blender until puréed.
2 Heat the milk until it just simmers, then set aside.
3 Immerse the gelatine leaves in a bowl of water until softened (about 10-20 seconds), then squeeze the water from them and add to the heated milk. Stir until the leaves dissolve. Allow the milk to cool for 5 minutes.
4 Add the yoghurt and milk to the strawberries, blending briefly until combined. Pour into small dishes or cups and allow to set in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
5 To serve, top with whipped cream, extra strawberries and toasted hazelnuts.
Blueberry & raspberry possets
SERVES 4
I love the magic of this dessert, especially the way the lemon juice soft-sets the cream to a velvety texture. Blueberries and raspberries both pair so well with lemon.
