Anyone out there much into Italian Desserts? If so, have you ever had Panna Cotta? Panna Cotta translates to Cooked Cream & its one of my favorite desserts. I do an Espresso Panna Cotta, & a Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta. When finished it is alot like a creamy Jello. It does have gelatin in it so when it sets up, it does have the body of Jello. Such a smooth, creamy & lightly sweet dessert. I started making it while I was working in an Italian Restaurant. I ended up taking on the job as Dessert Chef (as well as everything else) & he taught me how to make some great desserts (the Tiramisu is incredible & I couldnt have learned better by going to cooking school). I also was always looking for new desserts to make as specials & I found Panna Cotta one night while searching. So the next day I go in & try it out. Perfecto! We served it either in a small Martini glass or small single scoop icecream stemmed glass. Did it as a duo with an Espresso one & a Vanilla one. I also did a Honey one once that was really nice. Its been a few months since I've made it (or probably even a year!) so I'll have to work up the recipe again, I'll post it as soon as I remember the exact measurements. Has anyone else had Espresso Panna Cotta?
