How to Make Lemon Buttermilk Panna Cotta With Blueberry Sauce

  1. Coat 8 custard cups or ramekins with cooking spray.
  2. In a small saucepan, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of whole milk. Let stand for 10 minutes to bloom.
  3. Cook the milk mixture over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the gelatin dissolves completely, stirring constantly with a whisk.
  4. Increase the heat to medium. Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and stir with a whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup buttermilk and the zest of 1 lemon.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared custard cups.
  7. Cover and chill for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. To prepare the blueberry sauce, combine 1/2 cup apple juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the zest of 1/2 lemon, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a small saucepan.
  9. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  10. Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 cup fresh blueberries.
  11. Cook until the blueberries are warm and begin to burst, about 3-5 minutes.
  12. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
  13. To serve, run a knife or spatula around the edge of the ramekins to loosen the panna cotta.
  14. Invert onto dessert plates and spoon 1/4 cup of the cooled blueberry sauce over each panna cotta.
