A golden autumn dessert that’s rich, fragrant, and utterly luxurious – this Saffron & Barberry Caramel Panna Cotta is a decadent treat that celebrates the season with silky cream, tart bursts of jewel-like barberries, and the warm, honeyed depth of Greenfields saffron.

Saffron and barberry panna cotta

Typically described as:

When the evenings draw in and the air turns crisp, there’s nothing quite like indulging in something velvety and decadent. This panna cotta is infused with Greenfields saffron, giving it a deep golden hue and gentle floral aroma, while the tang of barberries cuts through the sweetness for perfect balance. It’s a dessert that looks like it belongs in a fine dining restaurant but is surprisingly simple to make at home – an autumn showstopper.

Serves 6

Preparation: 20 minutes
Chilling: 4–6 hours
Total time: 6 hours 20 minutes

  • 600ml double cream

  • 100ml whole milk

  • 100g golden caster sugar

  • 1 Greenfields saffron pinch (about 12–15 strands)

  • 1 tsp Greenfields rose water

  • 3 gelatine leaves (or vegetarian alternative)

  • 2 tbsp Greenfields barberries (Zirishk), soaked in warm water 10 minutes, drained

  • 50g caster sugar (for caramel shards)

  • Optional: Greenfields rose petals for garnish

  • Place the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water to soften.

  • In a saucepan, gently heat the cream, milk, sugar, and saffron until steaming but not boiling. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes off the heat.

  • Stir in the rose water. Squeeze excess water from the gelatine, then whisk it into the warm cream mixture until dissolved.

  • Strain the mixture through a sieve into a jug, then pour into six serving glasses or moulds.

  • Chill for 4–6 hours, or until set.

  • For the caramel shards, melt the caster sugar in a pan until golden, pour onto a baking sheet, and allow to cool. Break into shards.

  • To serve, top each panna cotta with drained barberries, caramel shards, and a scattering of rose petals.

The longer you infuse the saffron, the deeper the golden colour and flavour. Barberries can be replaced with pomegranate seeds if unavailable, but barberries give the most authentic autumnal sharpness. For extra indulgence, drizzle with a little Greenfields Greek blossom honey.
