Directions

  1. 1

    For the pannacotta: soak the gelatine in cold water. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp with the tip of a knife.

    Squeeze the gelatine well and dissolve in the hot speculation cream. Rinse four moulds (each containing approx. 150 ml) cold. Spread the speculation cream in them, allow to cool and chill overnight.

    For the brittle: Chop the almonds coarsely. Caramelise 5 g sugar in a pan. Turn the almonds briefly. Spread the caramel on baking paper.

    For the compote: Cut pomegranates in half. Squeeze 3 halves on a large citrus press. Knock out the seeds from the remaining pomegranate half with a tablespoon. Bring juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the boil in a small pot. Stir starch and 3 tbsp. water until smooth. Add to the boiling juice. Simmer while stirring for 1-2 minutes. Add the pomegranate seeds and let them cool down.
