A wonderful Italian dessert Panna cotta goes well with berry sauces.

Directions

1. Dissolve gelatin in two glasses of milk, let stand for 5 minutes. Heat the cream and sugar in a 1-liter saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 5 minutes. Add milk with gelatin to the resulting mass. Over low heat, stirring constantly, cook for 2-3 minutes, without bringing to a boil. Add lemon zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon stick. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and place the bowl in a large saucepan of cold water. Stir the mixture for 10-12 minutes. Remove bowl from the water.
2. Pour the resulting mass into molds and refrigerate for 4 hours until it solidifies completely.
3. Prepare the sauce. Rub raspberries into a two-liter saucepan through a sieve. Mix with jam and cornstarch. Bring to a boil over low heat, cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
4. Remove the pannacotta from the refrigerator, pry the edges with a knife and turn the molds onto a dish. Drizzle the pannacotta with raspberry sauce, garnish with raspberries and mint.
