Lemon Panna Cotta With Blackberry Sauce Recipes

LEMON PANNA COTTA WITH BLACKBERRIES & HONEY MADELEINES

Steps:

• For the panna cotta, put 6 small pudding moulds (about 120ml each) on a baking tray. Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of very cold water (see tip, below) and set aside.
• Put the cream, milk and sugar into a large pan and bring slowly to the boil. When the cream is boiling, add the lemon juice and the lemon and lime zest and whisk well. Simmer for a few mins until reduced slightly, then turn off the heat.
• Scoop the softened gelatine out of the water and squeeze off any excess water. Stir into the hot cream, leave until just warm, then strain the cream into a jug. Carefully pour the mix into the moulds and place in the fridge for at least 5 hrs until completely set - overnight is ideal.
• To make the madeleines, beat the eggs with the sugar and honey until light and airy. Whisk in the flour and ground almonds until completely incorporated, then gradually whisk in the cooled, melted butter. The batter can be made several hrs in advance.
• To bake the madeleines, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Generously butter, then flour, the madeleine or bun tins. Spoon the batter into the tins and bake for 10-12 mins, depending on the size of the tins.
• When the madeleines are golden and baked all the way through, remove from the oven and leave to cool for 2 mins. Tip out of the tin and bake another batch, if you need to. Drizzle the blackberries with liqueur, if using.
• To unmould the panna cottas, run the tip of a knife around the edge of the mould. Dip the mould briefly into hot water until the filling just comes away from the sides. Use your fingers to gently loosen the panna cotta away from the edges of the mould. When you are confident that it will turn out, reverse the mould onto a serving plate and gently lift off, releasing the contents.
• To plate up, unmould a panna cotta in the middle of each plate, pouring over any melted mix from the mould. Arrange blackberries around half of the panna cotta. Place a few madeleines on the opposite side of the plate. Spoon over a little of the blackberry juices from the bowl and serve straight away.

LEMON PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Place lemon juice in a small bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over it. Let stand for about 15 minutes until gelatin softens.
• Combine heavy cream, sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon zest in a saucepan over medium-low heat; bring to a simmer. Whisk in gelatin mixture until dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in orange liqueur.
• Strain the cream mixture into a medium bowl and divide evenly among small glass bowls or ramekins.
• Place uncovered panna cottas into the refrigerator until set, at least 4 hours. If time permits, cover the bowls with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
• Garnish with remaining lemon zest before serving.

BLACKBERRY LEMON PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• *Start this recipe the day before you plan to serve. In a cold saucepan, place coconut cream, honey, vanilla, and lemon oil. (Note: if coconut cream has separated in the can, give it a little whisk to combine.) Sprinkle gelatin over all. Let it all sit there for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to "bloom."
• Place saucepan over medium heat, and whisk gently until gelatin has melted, and all liquid is combined. Carefully pour into four 8-oz. ramekins. Refrigerate overnight. It is not necessary to cover them.
• On the day you want to serve, make the sauce. Place blackberries and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat. As the berries warm, mash them with a whisk. Once you have a good juice going (about 5 minutes), remove from heat.
• Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine sieve. Work the berries with a whisk so that more of the juice comes out of them, and you are left with seeds in the sieve. You should have about a 1/2 cup of juice. Clean out the saucepan of any bits, and return the juice to the pan.
• With the saucepan over medium high heat, whisk in honey, 1 tablespoon water, and lemon oil until well combined. When liquid is bubbly, whisk in arrowroot starch. As soon as it has thickened, remove from heat. If there are any lumps, keep whisking until they have disappeared. Let cool completely at room temperature, but do not refrigerate.
• To serve, place ramekins in a shallow baking dish of very warm (but not hot!) water for about 30 seconds. Remove ramekins, and wipe off the water. Run a knife around the edge of the panna cotta. Place a dessert dish upside down on the ramekin. Carefully invert so the custard turns out onto the plate. (If it won't come out, repeat this step.)
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of blackberry sauce on each panna cotta. Garnish with fresh berries, lemon zest shavings, or curled lemon zest.

LEMON PANNA COTTA WITH RASPBERRY-ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring cream, 1/2 cup sugar and lemon zest to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, soften gelatin in 2 generous Tbs. cold water. Whisk softened gelatin and 2 Tbs. orange liqueur into cream mixture.
• Pour cream mixture into 8 4-ounce ramekins or custard cups that have been lightly coated with vegetable cooking spray (blot excess oil with a paper towel). Set custard cups in a shallow pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Partially thaw raspberries on countertop. Place in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and add remaining 6 Tbs. sugar and 2 Tbs. orange liqueur. Transfer sauce to a medium bowl (if you want a seedless sauce, strain first through a fine-mesh sieve). Stir in fresh raspberries, and let stand about 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, run a thin-bladed knife around each dessert to loosen; turn onto a dessert plate to unmold. Spoon raspberry sauce around panna cotta and serve.

Cover and chill.)
• Run small knife around each panna cotta. Place bottoms of ramekins, 1 at a time, in bowl of hot water 45 seconds. Place plate atop ramekin. Hold plate and ramekin together; invert, shaking gently, to turn out panna cotta. Serve with sauce.
• *Available at some supermarkets. If unavailable, heat 1 cup whipping cream to lukewarm (85°F). Remove from heat; mix in 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Cover; let stand in warm draft-free area until slightly thickened, 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature of room. Chill until ready to use.

LEMON-BUTTERMILK PANNA COTTA WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

VANILLA BEAN PANNA COTTA WITH BLACKBERRY LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the powdered gelatin and the water to a small dish and mix. Allow to sit while you work on the rest of the recipe
• In a small sauce pan, add the coconut milk, mape syrup, vanilla bean and salt and bring to a low simmer
• Once the gelatin is dissolved in the water, about ten minutes (it should feel slightly spongey to the touch and be an opaque color), add to the warm coconut milk and stir until dissolved
• If using vanilla bean, I recommend slightly chilling the panna cotta before placing in glasses to suspend the vanilla bean specks. To create an ice bath, take a large bowl (larger than your suace pot) and fill it half way with ice and cold water. Place your sauce pot into the ice and water mixture. Stir the pudding with a whisk until it starts to thicken and the vanilla specks are mixed well throughout. Once slightly thickened, pour into four glasses, cover and chill in the fridge for four hours.
• Add the blackberries to a small sauce pot and place over low heat. Slowly heat the blackberries until thawed. With a wooden spoon, gently break up the blackberries
• Once the blackberries are broken down, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup and stir. Allow the mixture to slowly simmer
• In a small dish, combine the tapioca starch and the water. Pour the mixture into the blackberries and stir until thick, about 30 seconds. Place the sauce in an airtight container and chill in the fridge until ready to use
• To assemble the panna cottas, remove from the frdige and spoon some of the blackberry lemon sauce on top. Finsih with lemon zest, fresh blackberries and a mint sprig. Enjoy!

PANNA COTTA WITH RASPBERRY BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a very small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand about 1 minute to soften. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat until gelatin is dissolved and remove pan from heat.
• Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer and bubble for 10 minutes. Sieve to remove seeds or serve with seeds. It will thicken further as it cools. You don't want it too thick though it is best served slightly runny with panna cotta.
• In a large saucepan bring cream, half and half, and sugar just to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring. Remove pan from heat and stir in gelatin mixture and vanilla. Divide cream mixture among eight 1/2-cup ramekins and cool to room temperature. Chill ramekins, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight. You can also poor in short drinking glasses, cocktail glasses or small mason jars.

PANNA COTTA WITH BERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the panna cotta: Heat the cream, vanilla extract and vanilla bean in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until milk bubbles form at the sides of the pan, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl dissolve the gelatin in 3 tablespoons hot tap water. Stir until the gelatin completely dissolves, about 1 minute.
• Stir the sugar into the hot cream. Add the salt and the gelatin mixture to the cream as well. Whisk until the sugar dissolves, then whisk in the milk and stir again. Pour into the ramekins.
• Refrigerate the panna cotta until set, at least 4 hours. Stored in the refrigerator, the panna cotta keeps for several days.

Bring to a boil and cook until the berries burst and the liquid starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, forcing the berries through by pushing and scraping with a rubber spatula. The more you force through, the thicker the sauce will be (the pulp closest to the seeds contains the most pectin, which is a natural thickener). Let cool completely and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Spoon the sauce over the panna cotta and serve.

LEMON PANNA COTTA WITH RED WINE BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the lemon panna cotta: Lightly oil six 4-ounce ramekins with vegetable oil (you want to use a neutral tasting oil so it doesn't affect the flavor of the panna cotta).
• Add the milk, 3/4 cup cream, vanilla seeds and pod and lemon zest to a saucepan and whisk together. Bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl or cup, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream with the gelatin and allow it to bloom. The texture will be similar to a firm gel.
• When the cream mixture comes to a simmer, remove from the heat and add the bloomed gelatin and sugar. Whisk until the gelatin is completely melted and all the ingredients are fully combined.
• Strain the cream mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large measuring cup. Discard the lemon zest, reserve the pod for another use and pour the mixture into six 4-ounce ramekins. Let rest on the counter for about 30 minutes to cool down, then refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
• For the red wine blackberry sauce: Puree the blackberries, sugar and wine together in a food processor until smooth. Strain the pureed berries through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl using a rubber spatula to help it along.
• Serve the lemon panna cotta with the red wine berry sauce.

PANNA COTTA WITH BLACKBERRY CABERNET SAUCE

VEGAN LEMON PANNA COTTA WITH BLACKBERRY-BASIL COULIS

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, add all the ingredients for the blueberry basil coulis until well combined and bring to a slow simmer over a medium low-heat while mashing the blackberries with either a potato masher or the back of a fork. Simmer until sauce thickens and becomes syrupy in texture about 10-15 minutes.
• Immediately take a sieve and filter out all the pulp and seeds into a small bowl. Set aside 1 tbsp of blackberry coulis into a separate bowl.
• In a small bowl, make a slurry with corn starch, mixing in ¼ cup of the coconut milk with a fork or a small whisk until it is uniform removing all the lumps.
• In a sauce pan, mix coconut milk, vanilla bean, sugar, lemon and rind. Bring to a slow simmer over medium-low heat. Once it starts simmering, add in slurry and agar until mixture starts to thicken then quickly remove from heat.
• Take a ¼ cup of the panna cotta and add to the tbsp of blackberry coulis that was set aside and mix till well combined. Pour just enough to fill the bottom of the ramekins.

• To remove from ramekins, take a small paring knife and run along the edges to loosen the panna cotta. Put a small dessert plate on top of the ramekin and turn them both over. Put a towel underneath the plate and firmly bang the plate and ramekin onto the table. Be patient it can sometimes take a little time. If it's not budging, use your paring knife to gently wedge in a little air and let gravity do its work.
• Pour coulis on top and garnish with a basil leaf and blackberry and enjoy!
