Instructions

  1. Step 1

    To make the ice cream, place all the ingredients in a pan and heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Leave to cool and infuse for 30 minutes
  2. Step 2

    Once infused, strain, churn and freeze. Harriet uses a pacojet, but you can use an ice cream machine
  3. Step 3

    To make the lavender sorbet, place the ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil then take off the heat, cover with clingfilm and leave to infuse and cool. Once cooled, freeze in a paco container ready to churn, or churn in an ice cream maker
  4. Step 4

    To make the panna cottas, place all the ingredients apart from the gelatine in a pan and heat up – keep a close eye on it as it will easily foam over once it reaches the boil
  5. Step 5

    Squeeze the water from the soaking gelatine then stir this into the heated cream. Stir until dissolved then pass through a fine sieve to remove the chamomile. Carefully pour into the moulds then place in the fridge overnight
  6. Step 6

    To plate up, demould the panna cottas by sitting in a tray of hot water to loosen. Add a quenelle of the rose ice cream topped with chiffonade rose petals and a rocher of sorbet sat on the crumb
