This little pudding is such a good one. Flavours that we know and love (hello strawberries and cream) but with a little unexpected addition of lime. The textures are fun too; velvety pannacotta, and crunchy sugar on top of the berries.
It’s also easy to make in advance – you can make the pannacotta the day before and finish off with the strawberries and sugar just before serving.
Vanilla pannacotta with strawberries and lime sugar, serves 4
500 ml double cream
1 vanilla pod
50 ml caster sugar
2 gelatin leaves
Topping:
1 punnet strawberries, washed, trimmed and quartered
4 tbsp caster sugar
1 lime, the zest
Put the gelatin in a bowl with cold water to soak. Cut the vanilla pod in half and place it in a saucepan. Add cream and sugar. Bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes while stirring with a whisk. Remove from heat and divide into four footed glasses. Leave to cool then refrigerate for at least three hours. Cover when starting to set.
Before serving, prepare the strawberries. In a little bowl mix sugar and lime zest. Spoon the strawberries on top of the pannacottas and spoon the lime sugar on top. Serve immediately.
