DIRECTIONS

For the Meyer Lemon Panna Cotta, combine the half & half, Meyer lemon zest and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Heat until steaming. Give it a brief stir and let sit off the heat.

Place the 2 1/2 tsp gelatin in a small bowl and bloom with 1 tbsp cold water. Pour the half & half mixture through a fine strainer into a measuring cup large enough to accommodate the volume. Once gelatin has bloomed, spoon in a few tbsp of the warm half & half mixture and stir to melt. Pour the gelatin mixture into the strained half & half and stir to combine. Distribute amongst ramekins or other serving bowl, by eye or measure out 1 cup into each. Chill until fully set, best overnight.

For the Gioia Jelly, combine with the Gioia in a small saucepan along with Meyer lemon juice and granulated sugar, heating until the mixture is warm (but do not cook it). Remove from the heat, stir in the fresh raspberries and set aside.

Place the 1 1/2 tsp gelatin in a small bowl and bloom with 1 tbsp Gioia or cold water. Once gelatin has bloomed, spoon in a few tbsp of the warm Gioia mixture and stir to melt. Pour the gelatin mixture into the warm Gioia mixture and stir to combine. Divide between the two ramekins and place in the fridge until set.

Before serving, top with fresh whipped cream, reserved raspberries and a sprig of mint.

Enjoy & Cheers!
