|---|---|---|
| 4 | leaves | Gelatine |
| 100 | ml | Dessert wine |
| 0.5 | piece | Vanilla pod |
| 50 | gr | Sugar |
| 125 | gr | Frozen raspberries |

- Remove the wine from the pit, remove the pod from the pan. and dissolve the gelatine in the warm wine.
- Sprinkle the raspberries on w plate and put it back in the freezer. Have the wine gelatine mixture cool down in the fridge. Make sure to stir every other minute! You want it to become exactly right! If you cool it down to little, it will not bind. If it cools down to much you get clogs. All is not ruined. You can dissolve the gelatine au bain marie and start over. So better first time right!
- Whip the cream in a bowl until it is close to stiff. Spoon the jelly through and have the mixture cool down 2 hours.
- Shave the white chocolate to get nice curls. Turn the panna cotta on a cutting board. Dive it in squares.
- Crumble the raspberries in small pearls and sprinkle on the panna cotta.
- Sprinkle the chocolate curls on top and finish of with some mint!
