Wish I’d posted about this earlier in the year when pomegranates were at their best. But I didn’t. And this dessert idea is just too pretty to be filed away in a dusty Flickr vault for another 10 months. So here it is:
Buttermilk Pannacotta with Pomegranate Seeds and Mint.
I’ve posted the pannacotta recipe before here. To serve, simply scatter with pomegranate seeds and torn mint.
I may not be a fan of panna cotta but those pomegranate seeds and mint leaves look gorgeous – it looks very festive – glad you shared it! I am still a bit unclear about pomegranate season but my sightings of pomegranates has not lasted very long here!
It looks stunning, Wendy. Very pretty, indeed!
That looks so stunning! Those pomegranates can be so tricksy too!
Johanna – Is it two words then? “Panna cotta” rather than “pannacotta”? Must investigate.
Patricia – Thank you!
Helen – Ah, I’ve discovered that if you deseed them under water in a large tub/bowl all the seeds sink and the white pith floats. Pomegranate life is much easier now.
Oh that is so pretty! How colourful and gorgeous.
Very nice indeed. It is one word…I think.
Have been playing with pannacotta made with agar-agar rather than gelatine. Not worth trying, frankly…
it IS a very pretty dessert!
as far as i know, panna cotta is 2 words.
oops – I wasn’t sure it it was one word or two – happy to take lucy’s advice as I never eat them!
Antonia –
Lucy – I tried making it with vege-gel and it failed completely. Had to pop them in the freezer and eat them as ices instead.
Michelle – Wikipedia agrees with you on the two words, Lucy doesn’t! I’m clueless.
Johanna – It’s one of my favourite desserts but I haven’t a clue!
Looks too pretty to eat but im sure it tastes very good x
At first I thought I was looking through a food magazine with your superb photo’s Wendy!! This is some pretty dessert in fact stunning comes to mind

Gen – If only you were coming to visit this weekend, you may have found out…
Rosie – I’m blushing. Thank you.
I am so glad that you did not just file this away! Lovely…
Yum! This looks delicious. I’m totally sold, more so because of the pomegranate
It’s not only pretty but rather elegant.
This could be on a cover of a magazine and I would buy it just for the photo. It is so pretty and I bet I tasted great too.
Deb – Me too.
Kaykat – I love pomegranate too. Such lovely fruit.
Cynthia – Why, thank you.
Nina – Aww, you’re too kind. It did taste lovely.
Pretty indeed! This reminds me of a drink I had in Bhutan once with seltzer water, pomegranate juice and mint leaves.
that is so pretty! and i was thinkin abt panacotta last night..mmm
Oh my goodness – so very pretty! Delicious. I shall have to ntry this
Norecipes – Not sure what seltzer water is. Off to look that up!
Diva – The nice thing about buttermilk pannacotta is that it’s lighter. So you can eat more!
Niamh – Thank you! Let me know how you get on.
