Notes

The panna cotta is a pudding dessert from Piedmont, my native Region.It ‘an easy to make and quick-to-prepare keeper that fits every season. It’s taste is milky and delicate. You might like your panna cotta a touch sweeter, or with strawberry, or with a hint of liquour or coffee chocolate. In fact, you can add just about any flavouring to the base mix, the only ingredient that does not suit is lemon… as it tends tu turn the cream into acid…

One of the thinks I like most in panna cotta is that despite its simplicity, this dessert is really stylish, and can be plated in many different ways…
