- 1 tsp Cardamom ground

Instructions
Prepare the Gelatin
- Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 20 minutes to soften.
Make the Panna Cotta
- Combine heavy cream, whole milk, and 115g of sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the ground cardamom.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the bloomed gelatin and 2 tablespoons of the warm cream mixture until smooth.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into the remaining warm cream mixture and whisk vigorously to combine.
Set the Panna Cotta
- Pour the panna cotta mixture into individual ramekins or small serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Make the Pomegranate Reduction
- Remove pomegranate arils from a pomegranate and strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the seeds.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. Slowly whisk in the pomegranate juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the reduction thickens to a syrupy consistency and darkens in color. Remove from heat and let cool.
Assemble and Serve
- Carefully unmold the panna cotta onto serving plates. Drizzle generously with the pomegranate reduction. Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and mint leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Panna Cotta
- Use high-quality heavy cream and whole milk for the creamiest panna cotta.
- Don't boil the cream mixture; gently simmering is key to prevent scorching.
- Ensure the gelatin is fully bloomed to prevent a grainy texture.
- For a more intense pomegranate flavor, reduce the reduction for longer.
