🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Fresh fruit provides natural sweetness and flavor.

Bloom the gelatin by adding it to water and letting it sit for about 4 minutes without whisking.

In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of half and half, 1/2 cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste. Stir to combine.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer.

Add 1 cup of heavy cream and the bloomed gelatin to the simmering mixture. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Pour the mixture into glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours or overnight until set.

For the blackberry coulis, blend 2 cups of blackberries with 1/4 cup of sugar in a food processor until smooth.

Let the coulis sit aside until ready to use.

Once the panna cotta is set, gently run a knife around the edges to loosen it.

Invert the panna cotta onto a plate and serve with blackberry coulis on top, garnished with fresh blackberries and mint.
