Strawberry-Basil Sorbet

Method

Panna Cotta Preparation

  1. 1

    Bloom the Gelatin

    Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Heat the Cream Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, and kaffir lime leaves. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot, but not boiling.

  3. 3

    Add Gelatin

    Remove from heat, and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add vanilla extract and mix well.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Strain the mixture to remove the kaffir lime leaves. Pour into serving molds and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Oatmeal Crumble Preparation

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Melt the butter and mix it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Spread the crumble mixture on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.

Strawberry-Basil Sorbet Preparation

  1. 8

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine fresh strawberries, sugar, basil leaves, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.

  2. 9

    Freeze

    Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and freeze for about 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches a sorbet consistency.

Assembly

  1. 10

    Serve
