Ingredients 

  • 2 cups (288 g) Blackberries

Panna cotta

  • ½ cup (120 ml) Blackberry puree (up to 1 cup)
  • 1 cup (250 ml) Whipping cream
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Whole milk
  • 1½ tablespoon Gelatin
  • ¼ cup (50 g) Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract

Jello

  • ½ cup (120 ml) Blackberry puree
  • 1 cup (250 ml) Water
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Gelatine
  • 2 tablespoon Sugar optional

Garnish

Instructions

Prepare blackberry puree

  • Blackberry Puree - Pulse the blackberries in a food processor or blender until smooth. Sieve thru a fine mesh to remove seeds. Use one cup for the panna cotta mixture and save the rest for the topping.
    Pro tip - straining the puree will remove the seeds which will give a velvety texture to the panna cotta

Panna cotta

  • Sprinkle gelatin over the cold milk. Stir and set aside for 3 to 5 minutes to bloom.
    Pro itp - soaking the gelatin will ensure it dissolved into a smooth not grainy mixture.
  • In a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium-heat, heat the cream & sugar until sugar dissolves and cream comes to an almost boil.
  • Add the vanilla extract and the soaked gelatin milk. Continue to cook until the gelatin is all dissolved and the mixture is well heated thru.
    Pro tip - we do not want to boil the gelatin as it can make the gelatin chewy.
  • Take the mixture off the heat and add the blackberry puree. Sieve the mixture thru a mesh to get any undissolved gelatin or remaining blackberry seeds.
  • Gently pour the mixture into individual serving glasses. Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours

Jello

  • Combine remaining blackberry puree with water. Add sugar and gelatin. Let soak for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Heat over medium until all the gelatin dissolves and comes to a boil. Strain thru a sieve to remove any seeds. Cool until barely warm
    Pro tip - we want to bring it to the boil and take it off the heat immediately. Cook the gelatin too much will make it chewy. .
  • Gently pour over the set blackberry panna cotta. Chill in the freezer for an hour, then remove from the freezer and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
    Pro tip - Chilling in the freezer for an hour will set the jello instantly and prevent it from soaking into the tart.
  • Pour over the set blackberry panna cotta (over the back of a spoon helps). Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and fresh blackberries.

Recipe Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen blackberries. If you add the frozen blackberry puree to the panna cotta, it will thicken the gelatin. If necessary heat it for a few seconds.
  • You can add a bit less or more blackberry puree until you get the color you are looking for.
  • You can make this panna cotta tart without the jello topping.
