GREEK YOGHURT PANACOTTA

800g Yeo valley Greek yoghurt (green packaging)

330ml double cream (a pot!)

Approx 300ml organic whole milk

Vanilla pod seeds scraped out 1 1/2 -

1 – 1 ½  sachets gelatine (dr oetker) or ¾ tablespoon ossa gelatine (this is much better quality however can sometimes be hard to completely dissolve)

Honey

Jelly mould - ring shaped but you can get experimental – another lovely thing to do is individual dariole moulds as to be honest a lot of you might well not want to buy a ring-shaped jelly mould. As long as you can turn it out (like a jelly mould) I am happy.

 Place milk and cream into a saucepan and sprinkle your gelatine on top to “sponge” - leave for 5 mins.

Heat the sponged gelatine up gently on a low heat till it all disappears.

Add in your vanilla pods and stir through a couple of tablespoons of runny honey to sweeten lightly.

In a bowl add on your yoghurt and then gently stir through your milky gelatine mix. Taste. Is it sweet enough? If not add a touch more honey – although I do suggest drizzling later with honey too so you can adapt later too.

 

Pour into your mould(s) - (make sure you oil your mould well to help to remove it later!) Place into the fridge to set (ideally over night). Turn it out onto a large dish and decorate with seasonal berries. If you feel it’s too firm take out an hour or so in advance and then place your chilled fruit around it.

I served it with a generous drizzle of runny honey on top.

Extra lovely things can be a crumble sprinkle or poached rhubarb are AMAZING!!

 

Ps any gelatine will work well for this and ideally I use Ossa or Great Lakes - as they are ethically better but I had run out. Gelatine can be a good boost of collogen but also good for the gut. You could definitely try this with a vegan alternative. Just check the instructions for setting amounts xx
