Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup whole milk, 2 cups heavy cream, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender. Heat over medium heat until just steaming and sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, sprinkle 2 1/4 tsp powdered gelatin over 3 tbsp cold water in a small bowl and let bloom for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Strain the cream mixture through a fine sieve to remove lavender. Reheat gently, then stir in bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add 1/4 cup honey and mix well.
  4. Step 4: Pour mixture into 6 individual ramekins and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
  5. Step 5: To make blueberry compote, combine 1 cup fresh blueberries, 2 tbsp water, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until berries soften and sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Step 6: Cool compote to room temperature and spoon over panna cotta just before serving.
