Ingredients
Dr. Oetker Platinum Grade Leaf Gelatine x 3 sheets
450 ml Double Cream (3/4 pt)
95 g Caster Sugar (3 1/2oz)
7,5 ml Dr. Oetker Select Vanilla Extract with Seeds (1 1/2tsp)
1 Dr. Oetker Ground Arrowroot Sachet x 1
Lemon Juice from 1 lemon
Dr. Oetker Hot Pink Gel Food Colour
2 ml Rose Flavour (2 drops)
10 g Pomegranate Seeds to serve
Method
- Put the Gelatine Leaves in a shallow dish and cover with cold water. Leave to soak for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the cream gently with 65g (2 1/2 oz) sugar, stir until dissolved, then heat to just below boiling point. Remove from the heat.
- Drain the Gelatine Leaves, and squeeze out the excess water. Stir into the hot cream until melted. Leave to cool completely then strain through a sieve into a jug and stir in the Vanilla Extract.
- Pour into 4 x 125ml (4 1/2 fl.oz) dariole moulds, jelly moulds or ramekin dishes. Allow to chill for at least 2 hours until set.
- For the sauce, put the Arrowroot in a small saucepan. Put the lemon juice in a measuring jug and make up to 250ml (9 fl.oz) with cold water. Blend a little bit of the liquid with the Arrowroot to make a paste. Add the remaining sugar and stir in the remaining lemony water. Heat gently, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens slightly. Leave to cool then add a few drops of Gel Food Colour and flavour with rose water to taste. Cover and chill until required.
- To serve, dip the moulds in very hot water for a few seconds to loosen the Panna Cottas and invert on to serving plates. Serve with a little sauce spooned over and decorate with pomegranate seeds and rose petals.
