Panna Cotta With Cherry Sauce

Panna Cotta is an Italian classic dessert and simple to make at home.It is a custard-like pudding that has a wonderfully rich flavor and silky smooth texture.Perfect served with strawberry sauce,cherry sauce or any other fruits you like.I got this wonderful recipe from laura in the kitchen. 
In the original recipe you can see this dessert served with strawberry sauce,instead i made cherry sauce...

Ingredients

Unflavoured gelatin – 1 envelope/1 tbs

Water – 2tbs

Heavy cream – 1/2cup

Half and half – 1 cup( I substituted half and half with 1tbs of  melted butter added to 1cup of milk)

Vanilla essence – 1tsp

Lemon zest – 1/2tsp

Sugar – 4tbs

For cherry sauce

Canned cherries – ½ cup

Sugar – 3tbs

Fresh lemon juice – 1tsp

Water – ¼ cup

Corn flour – 3/4tsp mixed with 1tbs water

Method

1.Add 2 tbsp of water to the gelatine powder and leave it for few minutes.

2.In a saucepan add heavy cream,half and half and sugar ,bring to boil over medium heat.Switch off the flame and add the softened gelatin mixture and whisk it until gelatin melts.

3.Strain the mixture and add the vanilla essence to it.

4.Pour the mixture to three medium sized bowls.Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

5.Now blend cherries,lemon juice,water and sugar.Then pour the puree in a sauce pan and bring to boil.

6. Add the cornflour mixture and cook stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and pour it in a dish and allow it cool completely and place the sauce in the fridge.

7. For plating the dessert,dip each bowl in hot water for 10seconds,then run the knife around the edges of the bowl and invert the dessert into a serving bowl.

8.Now spoon the sauce around the panna cotta or over the top.

Both together makes the dessert delicious…
