Kicked Up Panna Cotta With Fresh Raspberry Sauce

I love panna cotta, the traditional italian eggless custard. It makes a wonderfully light finish to a heavy meal. Occasionally, i depart from the traditional recipe and add a bit of sour cream for a whole new depth of flavor. Fresh fruit is delightful with this dish, though you could serve it with a silky chocolate sauce. Very nice served in heart shaped ramekins! Prep time includes chilling time for the custard. Leftover sauce may be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and served over ice cream, lemon tarts, or ?

Steps

Panna cotta: in a small saucepan , combine cream , sugar and gelatin.
Heat until gelatin dissolves , stirring constantly as you heat.
Add sour cream and vanilla.
Whisk until smooth.
Pour into indivudual ramekins and chill at least 3 hours.
Raspberry sauce: puree raspberries , sugar , and lemon juice in a blender until smooth.
Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve , pressing firmly with a rubber spatula.
Taste and adjust sweetness , if necessary , by adding either a bit more sugar or lemon juice.
Serving directions: top each ramekin with a bit of raspberry sauce and a few sliced strawberries , fresh blueberries or raspberries.
