Panna cotta with pomegranate sauce

By John_Merillat

With only a few ingredients you can have a perfect dessert, and it only takes about 10 minutes to prepare. It can be served with any kind of fruit sauce, but this time I made it with fresh pomegranates, which is our favourite fall fruit.

The picture above won in the POM Wonderful Photography Contest, of course the theme was pomegranate.

Preparation

Step 1

PANNA COTTA

Place the gelatin and cold milk in a small bowl and let this mixture sit for about 5 - 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the cream and sugar in a saucepan and bring it to a boil, stirring to dissolve the powdered sugar. Once the cream is very hot, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the gelatin mixture and vanilla. Stir until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
Pour the cream into the prepared glasses and place in the refrigerator to chill for 2-4 hours, or until set.

POMEGRANATE SAUCE

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in pomegranates, and cook about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the sauce. Let cool. Pour the sauce into each glass, decorate with pomegranate, white and dark chocolate pieces.
