That purple hue I love so much…

Returning from the Po Valley, with my basket full of blueberries, I couldn’t miss out on a dessert I adore (Alas, I am on a perpetual diet and can only taste it)

I chose the blueberry panna cotta. It enhances color and flavor.

The cultivation of blueberries throughout the area is amazing, the fruits are wonderful…

  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: Summer

Ingredients

I use fresh seasonal fruit. Add the ingredients for decoration. Your choice.

  • 4 cups blueberries (Also frozen)
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • gelatin sheets

Tools

  • Pots
  • Molds

Steps

A very simple dessert to prepare. Pleasant in effect and colors.

The first step is to soften the gelatin sheets in a little cold water.

  • Combine the sugar and blueberries in a pot and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. About ten minutes, keeping them as whole as possible.

  • Blueberries for decoration

  • Heat the cream in a pot and add the softened and squeezed gelatin

  • After bringing it almost to a boil, strain the mixture and add to the blueberries.

  • Mix well and place in a dish lined with plastic wrap or individual molds

  • I used a dish. Let it rest overnight. Or at least until fully set. Then unmold and decorate. My blueberry panna cotta is ready!

  • Decoration

  • Slice result.

I decorated with almond flakes, caramel, and frosted fresh blueberries. Store in the refrigerator.
