Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy/whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (I used 2% fat)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons lavender water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (optional)

Lavender water:

  • 1 tablespoon culinary lavender
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Prepare the lavender water by adding 2 tablespoons boiling water to the lavender. Let steep for 15 minutes and then use a fine sieve (or even a paper tea filer) to strain it. You should be left with 2 teaspoons of liquid. Set lavender water aside.
  • Add gelatin and water to a small bowl to soften the powder. Set aside.
  • Add cream and sugar to a small saucepan on medium heat. Heat until the cream starts to bubble around the edges (about 5 minutes, it shouldn't be boiling). Whisk until sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in the gelatin mixture until it's dissolved.
  • Whisk in the yogurt, salt, lavender water, vanilla, and optional food coloring (6 drops blue, 6 drops red).
  • Pour into glasses or molds. Chill for at least 3 hours. If you're going to chill it overnight, cover each container.
