Mmmmm.....just the name should set your taste buds into a frenzy. Aaron Craze's recipe from The Independent. Prep time does not include overnight setting time. Ingredients:
1 1/3 liters double cream |
1 finely grated unwaxed lemon, rind of |
20 g lavender, on the stalk |
2 vanilla pod |
200 ml whole milk |
4 sheets of leaf gelatin |
150 g icing sugar |
lavender, on the stalk |
Directions:
1. Pour the cream into a medium saucepan. Add the lemon rind and lavender stalks. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pods and add these to the saucepan along with the pods.
2. Bring the cream to the boil over a medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the cream until it has reduced by one-third (about 10 minutes).
3. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse.
4. Soak the gelatine in the milk until the sheets are soft and pliable, then remove them to a plate using a slotted spoon.
5. Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and heat to a simmer. Whisk in the icing sugar and the set-aside gelatine.
6. Add the milk mixture to the cream and combine. Pass through a sieve into a pouring jug. Pour the mixture evenly into 6 glass bowls or large dariole moulds (200ml-250ml/7fl oz-9fl oz each). Leave to set in the fridge overnight.
7. When you're ready to serve, run a little hot water over the bottom of each bowl or mould and gently ease the pannacotta away from the sides.
8. Turn on to plates and serve with a little fresh lavender and some redcurrants.
