Mint and Lime Panna Cotta
I made this for my friends birthday party. It was an Indian themed dinner, so I thought these panna cottas made with lime, mint and cardamom syrup was a nice finish to the meal.
Ingredients
Serves 8
500 ml/ 5 dl double cream (piskefløde)
100 ml/ 1 dl full fat milk
100/ 1dl water
4 limes
4 sheets of gelatin (husblas)
5 tbsp fine cane sugar
3 cardamom capsules
A bunch of fresh mint
Pomegranate seeds
Chocolate bisquits
Method
Soak the gelatin in cold water. Meanwhile heat up the water with the sugar, cardamom and mint (leave enough mint leaves to garnish 8 servings). Boil till the sugar dissolves and you have a syrup.
Strain the syrup and ad the lime juice. Take out the gelatin and put in a bowl and melt it over a pot of boiling water (or like me melt it in a chocolate melting device). When dissolved ad a little of the syrup to the gelatin. Then pour in the gelatin in the syrup.
Gently pour the syrup into the cream while whisking.
Divide the mix into 8 glasses and leave to cool in the fridge for 4 hours.
When serving, decorate with a sprig of mint, pomegranate seeds and a chocolate cigar.
