Panna Cotta with Pimm’s & Strawberries

Gluten Free

Preparation time: 15 minutes + infusing and setting

Cooking time: 5 minutes

Total time: 20 minutes + infusing and setting

Serves: 6

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for greasing
500ml double cream
½ vanilla pod, split
200ml whole milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
125g clear honey
3 sheets leaf gelatine
400g pack strawberries, hulled, any large ones halved or quartered
2 tbsp icing sugar
Zest of ½ orange
50ml Pimm’s

Method

Grease 6 x small 150-200ml ramekins sparingly with vegetable oil. Place the cream and vanilla pod in a medium saucepan and heat until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 8-10 minutes, until room temperature.
Mix the milk and lemon juice together and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Add this to the cream along with the honey. Stir over a low heat for 1-2 minutes, until the honey has melted.
Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 5 minutes until soft, then wring out and add to the cream mixture. Stir briefly, until the gelatine has dissolved, then strain the mixture into a jug and discard the vanilla pod. Pour the cream into the prepared ramekins. Leave to cool to room temperature then cover and chill for 3 hours, or until set.
Put the strawberries into a bowl with the icing sugar and orange zest. Stir and leave until the sugar has dissolved. Add the Pimm’s. Cover and leave to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. To serve, dip the ramekins into just boiled water and turn out onto plates. Serve with the strawberries and their juice spooned around.

Heelys Rolls Into Spring With New Collection

Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.

The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.

Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.

Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
