Lavender Panna Cotta With Peaches, Berries, Basil And A Hint Of Mint
- Yummy Lavender Panna Cotta
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1.5 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1/5 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon crushed lavender flowers
- 1 teaspoon lavender extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- Pinch salt
- Pinch cinnamon
- Peach and Raspberry Topping
- 1 fresh peach, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon fresh basil leaves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 splash lemon
- To prepare the panna cotta: In a small cup, mix two tablespoons of cold water and the gelatin, and let it stand for about 5 minutes
- In a 3-quart saucepan, warm the cream with the sugar, salt, crushed lavender and lavender extract over medium-high heat. (Do not boil.) Stir in the gelatin until dissolved. Take the cream off the heat and let cool.
- Place the sour cream in a medium bowl; add the warm cream a little at a time, and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture into ramekins or a serving bowl. Chill for 4 hours. (Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.)
- For the peachy topping: in a small saucepan, gently heat crushed raspberries and honey; add sliced fresh peaches, minced mint and basil leaves. Remove from heat immediately as fruit releases juices.
- An alternative: garnish panna cotta with fresh sliced peaches and berries. Drizzle honey on the fruit, and finish with a sprinkling of the herbs.
