Description

Introducing a delightful twist on a classic dessert, this combination features a velvety vanilla panna cotta layered with a zesty lemon curd.

Served in individual glass dishes, with a sprig of fresh mint on top, this dessert becomes a true work of art that is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate.

Tips

To modify this recipe with ingredient substitutions, you could use soy or almond milk instead of regular milk for a dairy-free version of the panna cotta. Additionally, you could use a plant-based alternative to gelatin, such as agar-agar, to achieve the same creamy texture. For the lemon curd, you can replace the eggs with a vegan egg substitute or use silken tofu for a creamy, egg-free option. Finally, feel free to swap out the blueberries with other fresh fruits like raspberries or sliced strawberries, depending on your preference.
