Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare sixteen 4-ounce ramekins on a baking sheet to welcome our creamy creation. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Custard Creation: With a sharp knife, unveil the vanilla beans, scraping out their precious seeds. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Heat a saucepan halfway with water, bringing it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a heatproof bowl, unite vanilla pods, seeds, cream, and sugar. Position over simmering water and whisk until sugar dissolves into a fragrant elixir. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Strain the cream mixture through a fine-mesh, banishing any rogue solids. Discard the water. (5 minutes)

06

Step

In a small bowl, awaken the gelatin with 1/2 cup water, ensuring each granule is a solitary star. Then, with a whisk, gently fold this into the cream. Allow to cool, nurturing a gentle thickening. (20 minutes)

07

Step

Whispering in the buttermilk, stir it gently into the cream, then pour into the ramekins. Swaddle in plastic wrap and chill, allowing the magic to happen for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. (10 minutes + 6 hours chilling)

08

Step

Blueberry Symphony: In a saucepan, coax the blueberries over medium heat, encouraging them to release their vibrant juices. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Introduce orange juice and sugar. Simmer until the mixture embraces a luscious reduction, about halved in volume. Allow to cool, transforming into a syrupy delight. (10 minutes + 30 minutes cooling)

10

Step

Release the Panna Cotta's edges with a delicate knife, inverting each onto a serving plate. Crown with the blueberry topping and serve.

For an even smoother texture, consider using bloomed gelatin (allowing the gelatin to sit in cold water for 5-10 minutes before adding to the cream).
The blueberry topping can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Feel free to experiment with other berries or fruits for the topping, such as raspberries, strawberries, or peaches.
