Lavender Honey Panna Cotta

This lavender honey panna cotta is like a little hug in a dessert—creamy, floral, and just sweet enough to feel indulgent without being heavy.

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 tsp unflavored gelatin
• Pinch of salt

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 1/4 tsp gelatin over 1/2 cup milk. Let sit 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tbsp lavender, and a pinch of salt. Heat until steaming (do not boil), stirring to dissolve honey. Remove from heat, cover, and steep 15 minutes.
3. Strain lavender from cream mixture, then return to heat. Add bloomed gelatin mixture and 1 tsp vanilla, whisking until fully dissolved (about 1 minute).
4. Divide into 4 ramekins. Chill at least 4 hours, or until set (a gentle shake should show no liquid movement).

The magic here? The lavender infuses just enough perfume to feel elegant, while the honey keeps it grounded and cozy. Serve with fresh berries for a pretty contrast.

Tip: For clean unmolding, dip ramekins in hot water for 5 seconds before inverting onto plates.

Matcha White Chocolate Mousse

Silky, lightly sweet, and packed with earthy matcha flavor, this mousse is an elegant dessert that comes together with just a few simple steps.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 4 oz high-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp matcha powder (culinary grade)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm 1/2 cup of the heavy cream until steaming (do not boil). Remove from heat, add white chocolate, and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth.
2. Sift in matcha powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, whisking until fully combined. Cool to room temperature.
3. In a large bowl, whip the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the matcha mixture in two batches until no streaks remain.
4. Divide into serving glasses and chill for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) until set.

The contrast between the creamy white chocolate and vibrant matcha makes every spoonful feel like a mini celebration. For an extra touch, top with a dusting of matcha or shaved chocolate.

Tip: Use a high-fat white chocolate (at least 30% cocoa butter) for the smoothest texture—cheaper brands can seize up when melted.

In another bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt. Alternate folding the dry mix and 1/2 cup milk into the wet ingredients. Stir in lemon zest and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
3. Bake: Pour into a greased 9-inch round pan. Bake at 350°F for 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes before slicing.

The rosemary’s piney aroma and olive oil’s richness make this cake elegant yet unfussy—perfect with afternoon tea or as a not-too-sweet dessert.

Tip: For extra fragrance, garnish with a rosemary sprig and a drizzle of honey.

3. Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl, then slowly pour in the hot cream mixture while whisking constantly. Return to the saucepan and cook on low, stirring, until thickened (about 5–7 minutes; it should coat the back of a spoon).
4. Strain the custard into a bowl, then stir in the ground sesame mixture, vanilla extract, and salt. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
5. Churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes), then freeze for 2–3 hours to firm up.

3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spatula to remove solids. Discard pulp.
4. Pour into a shallow dish, cover, and freeze for 4 hours, stirring every hour to break up ice crystals.
