Orange Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Blackberries

Fruit liqueur and a touch of sugar make a temptingly juicy fresh berry sauce in this panna cotta (Italian for “cooked cream”). Gelatin needs to soften first in cold water then dissolve in warm liquid. Don’t rush on either step or the panna cotta will not gel.

Instructions
  1. Spray six 3/4-cup size ramekins with a light coating of cooking spray. Or prepare panna cotta in a 1 quart serving bowl without cooking spray.  
  2. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl. Let stand until softened.  
  3. Heat cream, 1/2 cup sugar and orange zest in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat to just below boiling; stir until sugar dissolves. 
  4. Remove from heat. Add gelatin and stir until dissolved. Cool to lukewarm.  
  5. Stir buttermilk and vanilla into cream mixture. Divide evenly between prepared ramekins or pour into bowl.  
  6. Refrigerate 4 hours or until set. (Can be covered and refrigerated up to 48 hours ahead.) 
  7. Combine blackberries, liquor and 2 teaspoons sugar. Using the back of a spoon or a fork, gently mash berries, leaving some of the berries whole.  
  8. To serve, run the tip of a sharp knife around edge of ramekins.  
  9. Turn out onto serving plates. (Or scoop panna cotta into dessert dishes). Spoon berries alongside or on top of panna cotta.  
Lighten Up Tip
Lighten Up the recipe by replacing the whipping cream with half and half or fat-free half and half. (Panna Cotta will be less firm.)
