Rosellie

A lovely light dessert of panna cotta flavoured with hibiscus syrup and frittered flower. The textures matched with fresh figs and raspberries are simply refreshing.

Ingredients:

• 440ml cream
• 75g sugar
• 100ml hibiscus syrup from Delicious Hibiscus Flower (whole)
• 4 hibiscus flowers in syrup from Delicious Hibiscus Flower (whole)
• 4 fresh figs
• 16 fresh raspberries

Direction:

1. Put cream, sugar and hibiscus syrup in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to boil.
2. Soak crystallised gelatin in ½ cup of water for 1-2 minutes, then microwave on medium for 10 seconds.
3. Stir into the hot cream mixture until gelatin yis dissolved. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl.
4. Cool slightly and pour into four small straight-sided glass containers. Place in the fridge to set.

To serve:
