Tenderly melting on the tongue, with the fine aroma of vanilla and cream: panna cotta, even as white chocolate panna cotta, is one of the most popular desserts in Italy. And it is one of the most varied, because only your preferences set the limits when playing with the aromas.
Chocolate panna cotta and its fruity combinations
The basis could not be more simple: cream and sugar are heated up and bound with gelatine. In the classic version, vanilla is also. This tastes delicious with sauces from blackberries, blueberries, strawberries or wild berries, for example. The contrast between the mild cream and the slightly sour fruit will amaze any palate!
More exotic fruits are also becoming increasingly popular with panna cotta: persimmons, kumquat, papaya, mango or passion fruits create a visual and aromatic spectacle on the dessert stage, as do roasted nuts, liqueur, caramel, fresh herbs or even rose petals.
But my favorite is the white chocolate panna cotta
