  • Whisk
  • Small Bowl
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Zester

Ingredients

Vanilla Bean Bourbon Panna Cotta

  • 2 cups heavy cream 480 g
  • 1 cup whole milk 240 g
  • 1 vanilla bean split and scraped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100 g
  • 1 tbsp Bourbon optional
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin 7 g
  • 3 tablespoons cold water 45 g

Blueberry Compote

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 300 g
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50 g
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice 15 g
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon water 15 g
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon optional

Instructions

Vanilla Bean Bourbon Panna Cotta

  • In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.
  • In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, scraped vanilla bean seeds along with the pod, and 1 tbsp of bourbon. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer and the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the vanilla bean pod. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly, then ladle it evenly into your six 7.4-liter tulip jars.
  • Cover the jars with the lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Blueberry Compote

  • Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, water, and cinnamon in a saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Let the compote cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to use.

Assembly:

  • Once the panna cotta is set, top each jar with a generous spoonful of blueberry compote. You can serve immediately or keep them chilled until ready to enjoy.
  • Top with shredded coconut or chopped pistachios!
