Lemon Panna Cotta with Mixed Berry Compote from MomOnTimeout.com Easier than you think and so, so delicious!

Fresh berries are one of summer’s sweetest pleasures. I mean, there really is nothing better than a perfectly ripe, sweet berry – am I right?

Reece and Bryce have always been berry lovers and I like to keep a variety of berries on hand. Right now their favorite is raspberries. They love to put a raspberry on each finger and then suck the berries off. Boys 🙂

As you can imagine, we go through a lot of berries in our house and enjoy them in so many ways – pancakes, smoothies, cookies and more! We’ll take berries any way we can get them!

Lemon Panna Cotta is one of the most delightful desserts you will ever taste! So, so creamy and that bright lemon flavor just bursts through with each bite, perfectly complementing the sweetness of the berry compote.

Don’t let the name discourage you from trying this easy-to-prepare and delicious recipe! Think of it as a lemon pudding with a berry sauce on top 🙂  The name just sounds fancy!

This dessert is perfect for hot summer months – cool, refreshing, and perfectly sweet! I love that it can be made ahead of time and pulled out in a jif for when friends and family stop by. It’s also quite a show-stopper for parties! Serving up this dessert in clear containers is a must! It’s just too pretty not to 🙂

Now, having two little boys, I opted for clear acrylic so mommy doesn’t end up crying when something gets dropped 😉

While we enjoy fresh berries immensely, sometimes it’s nice to turn them into a lovely summer’s day treat like this dessert. Relatively simple to prepare yet it looks like a million bucks.  Make sure to plan ahead because the panna cotta requires time to set up.

Ingredients

Lemon Panna Cotta

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 oz unflavored gelatin 1 envelope
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 cup 2% Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Mixed Berry Compote

  • 2 to 2 1/2 cups fresh berries
  • 2 to 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Lemon Panna Cotta

  • Pour lemon juice into a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over the top. Let stand just until gelatin softens - approximately 5 minutes. Do NOT let the gelatin harden.
  • Whisk together sugar and lemon zest in a medium saucepan.
  • Add half and half and Greek Yogurt.
  • Whisk together over medium high heat just until sugar dissolves and mixture is simmering. 2-3 minutes. (Do NOT boil.)
  • Add gelatin mixture and vanilla and continue whisking until gelatin has dissolved and is fully incorporated.
  • Carefully pour into six ramekins or cups and refrigerate until firm. At least 4 hours.

Mixed Berry Compote

  • Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and berries begin to break down, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and continue cookies for another 4-6 minutes until compote slightly thickens.
  • Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
  • Refrigerate until panna cotta is set up.
  • Spoon gently over panna cotta immediately before serving.
