Lime Panna Cotta with Blueberry Sauce

Serves 4-6
Preparation time: 5 -7 minutes (+ 15 minutes for cooling off) 
Cooking time: N/A *
* Once done, it needs to be refrigerated for at least 4 hours.

Ingredients:

For the Panna Cotta


  • Cream - 200 ml (1 Cups)
  • Milk - 200 ml (1 Cup)
  • Yogurt - 100 ml (1/2 Cup)*
  • Sugar - 100 g 
  • Lime Leaves 4-5 (crushed/bruised)**
  • Gelatin - 1 tbsp
  • Cold Water - 50 ml (1/4 cup)
  • Blueberry Sauce - 2 tbsp for each serving ***
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnishing


For the Blueberry Sauce (if not using the market bought sauce mentioned in the ingredient list above)

  • Blueberries - 1 1/2 cup
  • Sugar - 2 tbsp


*Preferably Greek Yogurt but any yogurt will do
** I used lime leaves but you can also use Lime rind. Grated lime rind should taste much better. 
*** I had some leftover blueberry sauce which I needed to finish, otherwise I would prefer using home-made sauce. I have given the recipe for the home made sauce below




Directions:

For the Panna Cotta


  • Heat the milk, cream, sugar and lime leaves until hot but not boiling. Allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes.







  •  Meanwhile mix the gelatin with water in a bowl and let it stand till it softens, i.e. for about 5 minutes. Remove the lime leaves from milk cream mixture and add gelatin and mix in the gelatin and whisk till gelatin is fully dissolved in the milk.






  • Add yogurt and mix well. 




  • Pour the mixture into 4-6 glasses (depending upon the size of the serving you want) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. 



  • Add blueberry sauce to each serving and garnish with fresh mint leaves before you serve. 
For the Blueberry Sauce

  • Blend the blueberries with sugar till they become smooth and frothy.
