Necessary ingredients: - 300 ml sweet milk - 200 ml liquid cream - 200 g sugar - 2 packets of vanilla sugar - 1 essence of vanilla - 1/2 essence of lemon - Juice from 1/2 lime - Zest of one lemon - 2 packets of gelatin - Blue food coloring (preferably Wilton) - 100 g powdered sugar - Frozen blackberries (or fresh if available) Preparation steps: 1. Hydrating the gelatin: Start by soaking the gelatin in cold water, following the instructions on the package. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture of your dessert. 2. Heating the milk: In a saucepan, add the sweet milk and 200 g of sugar, along with the vanilla sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar completely dissolves. Be careful not to let it boil, just heat it well. 3. Adding the cream: Once the milk is warm, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the liquid cream. Mix well until the composition becomes homogeneous and creamy. 4. Incorporating the gelatin: Add the hydrated gelatin, squeezed of excess water, the essences of vanilla and lemon, lime juice, and lemon zest. Mix well until homogenized. Place the saucepan back on the heat, bringing the mixture close to boiling, but do not let it boil. 5. Creating the colored layers: Divide the composition into two equal parts. In one of them, add the blue food coloring, mixing well to achieve an even shade. 6. Preparing the glasses: Lightly moisten the glasses in which you will pour the dessert. Start by pouring the blue composition into each glass, then place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to set slightly. 7. Adding the yellow layer: Meanwhile, keep the yellow composition warm by covering the pot with a lid. After 30 minutes, remove the glasses from the freezer and carefully pour the yellow composition over the blue layer, being careful not to mix. 8. Final cooling: Place the glasses back in the freezer for another 20 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator to cool completely. 9. Preparing the blackberry puree: About an hour before serving, prepare the blackberry puree. In a small saucepan, add the frozen blackberries and powdered sugar. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring gently until the blackberries break down and form a delicious sauce. 10. Serving: Once the panna cotta has cooled completely, pour the blackberry puree over each serving. Garnish with fresh blackberries and enjoy!

Nutritional benefits: Panna Cotta is rich in calcium due to the milk and cream, and blackberries are an excellent source of antioxidants.
