Sweet and Savory: Blackberry Basil Panna Cotta Recipe

Blackberry Basil Panna Cotta Recipe

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dessert recipe that combines the sweetness of blackberries with the refreshing taste of basil – my Blackberry Basil Panna Cotta. This creamy and luscious treat is perfect for a summer dinner party or a special date night at home.

Ingredients:

• 200g fresh blackberries
• 15g fresh basil leaves
• 10g gelatin powder
• 100g sugar
• 400ml heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• whisk
• blender
• ramekins

To start, combine the blackberries, basil leaves, and sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Cook for about 10 minutes until the blackberries have softened and released their juices. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Next, blend the blackberry mixture until smooth, then strain the mixture to remove any seeds. Return the puree to the saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

In another saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the blackberry mixture. Whisk gently until the gelatin has completely dissolved.

Stir in the vanilla extract and pour the mixture into ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Before serving, garnish with fresh blackberries and basil leaves. Enjoy the creamy texture of the panna cotta with bursts of fruity blackberry and herby basil flavors.

This recipe makes 6 servings, with each serving weighing approximately 150g. One serving of this Blackberry Basil Panna Cotta is around 300 calories.

One tip to make this dish even more refreshing is to freeze the basil leaves before blending them with the blackberries. This will give the dessert an extra burst of coolness with each bite.

I hope you give this unique dessert recipe a try and make it your own by experimenting with different herbs and fruits. Enjoy!
