Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 2 cups greek yogurt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
Gelatin Ingredients:
- 2 packets gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup cold water
Blueberry Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Dissolve gelatin in cold water, letting it sit for 5 minutes to bloom and activate its thickening properties.
- Combine heavy cream, milk, and sugar in a saucepan, heating gently over medium heat until sugar completely dissolves and mixture is smooth, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove cream mixture from heat and whisk in bloomed gelatin until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
- Fold greek yogurt into the warm cream mixture, stirring carefully to create a uniform, silky texture without overmixing.
- Pour the yogurt mixture into individual ramekins or serving glasses, ensuring even distribution.
- Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely set and firm.
- For blueberry sauce, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan.
- Simmer the blueberry mixture over medium-low heat, gently crushing some berries to release juices, for about 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove blueberry sauce from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Once panna cotta is set, drizzle chilled blueberry sauce over the top just before serving.
- Garnish with fresh whole blueberries for added visual appeal and texture.
Notes
- Bloom gelatin precisely to ensure smooth, lump-free texture without compromising the delicate consistency of the panna cotta.
- Gently heat cream mixture to prevent scorching and maintain a silky, luxurious base that complements the tangy Greek yogurt.
- Avoid overmixing when incorporating yogurt to preserve the light, creamy structure and prevent deflating the delicate dessert.
- Experiment with alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a unique flavor profile and to accommodate different dietary preferences.
