Panna cotta or “cooked cream” in english is an Italian dessert. A sweetened cream thickened with gelatin.

Panna Cotta is one of those desserts that can be made with any flavor such as fresh fruits, chocolates or coffee.

Making panna cotta is fun and easy. Refrigeration takes time to achieve the desired molding consistency but it’s worth it!

Let's go and make it!

Note: You can simply just pour the mixture into the serving glasses without slanting the glasses against each other if you prefer but I just love to give it a beautiful presentation.
( I made the milk vanilla mixture before I cook our dinner and the melon gelatin after dinner.)
