The silky panna cotta melts in your mouth, while the tangy orange compote adds a burst of citrusy sweetness. A delightful finale to your feast, this dessert will leave you enchanted, dreaming of the magic that fennel can weave.

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1/4 cup orange blossom water
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 cup fresh orange segments (from about 2 oranges)
• 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, fennel seeds, and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it steep for about 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.
2. While the cream mixture is steeping, prepare the gelatin. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
3. After 30 minutes, strain the steeped cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, discarding the fennel seeds.
4. Reheat the cream mixture over low heat until it is warm, but not boiling.
5. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture, stirring until the gelatin completely dissolves.
6. Stir in the orange blossom water and orange zest, blending the flavors harmoniously.
7. Divide the mixture among six serving glasses or ramekins. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the panna cotta sets and becomes firm.
8. In the meantime, prepare the orange compote. In a small saucepan, gently heat the fresh orange segments and honey over low heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the oranges soften and release their juices, creating a slightly thickened compote.
9. Let the orange compote cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until serving time.
10. Once the panna cotta is set, top each serving with a generous spoonful of orange compote just before serving.
11. Serve chilled and enjoy the delicate, luscious taste of Fennel and Orange Blossom Panna Cotta.
