Two-Tone Panna Cotta with Blueberries

Two-tone panna cotta with blueberries is a portioned dessert made of two layers: first the milky vanilla-cream layer sets, then the blueberry layer is poured on top. Each layer needs a couple of hours in the fridge, or better yet overnight. A light, airy dessert for summer heat or for a celebration - I recommend it.

Tips

• Pour the berry layer only once the milk layer has fully set, otherwise the layers will mix.
• Let the mixture cool a bit before pouring - hot cream will soften the bottom layer.
• You can serve it in bowls, glasses, or any individual dishes.
