Putting it all together

  2. Lightly press down on all the topside edges to loosen the contact between the panna cotta and ramekin.
  3. Tilt ramekin to one side until the panna cotta starts to peel off the edge and lightly shake.
  4. Repeat on three other sides.
  5. Remove saran wrap and invert ramekin over a dessert plate.
  6. Lightly shake the ramekin to release the panna cotta.
  7. Add blueberry sauce to one side of panna cotta.
  8. Add small handful of fresh blueberries to other side.
  9. Mount a small sprig of mint leaves to top of panna cotta with a 2-3 blueberries as well.
