Panna cotta with blueberry sauce, a fantastic dessert, very easy to prepare, one of my favorites, creamy and delicious.
There isn’t much to say about panna cotta, it’s good, and everyone really likes it, fresh, and delicate, with a velvety texture. In this version, the blueberries are cooked to create a sauce, which will be added both as a decoration and inside the cream.
I really love blueberries, they lend themselves to both sweet and savory dishes, and they have this wonderful color. Moreover, they have refreshing and diuretic properties, I often use them in my recipes, you will find some recipes as you continue reading:

Steps
Start by soaking the gelatin sheets in a bowl with cold water. Meanwhile, wash the blueberries, 300g (about 10.5 oz); keep the remaining 50g (about 1.75 oz) for decoration, and then put them in a saucepan with sugar and lemon. Stir and bring to a boil over medium heat, cook for about 15 minutes
Once the fruit has released its juice, blend everything with an immersion blender (if you’re interested in purchasing one, click here). Strain the liquid through a sieve to remove the skins. Take 100ml (about 3.4 oz) of sauce and set it aside, it will be used to decorate the dessert
Pour the milk and heavy cream into a saucepan. As soon as the liquid boils, add the blueberry sauce, stir and add the gelatin sheets, well squeezed with your hands. Mix everything well, stirring with a whisk
Divide the dessert into 4 glasses (if you’re interested in purchasing them, click here) let it cool, then put in the fridge to chill the panna cotta, for at least a couple of hours. Once ready, garnish the dessert with the blueberry sauce set aside earlier, if it’s too thick you can add a few drops of lemon. Garnish with fresh blueberries
