Coffee Panna Cotta - an inspiring classic among desserts

Aromatically cooked

Thee "topping" of the panna cotta is variable. The cream itself is a perfect flavour carrier and you are guaranteed new and unique aromas when you add coffee, lemon verbena or lemon thyme, peppermint, rosemary or lavender, which are boiled and strained together. Spices such as saffron, cardamom and cinnamon or coffee add a touch of the Orient. According to legend, panna cotta has its roots in the Langhe region of Piedmont, the home of Barolo.

Coffee panna cotta, the origins

At the beginning of the 20th century, a lady of Hungarian origin lived there, and she probably modified the recipe of the Biancomangiare (blancmange), a dessert made with almond milk. She replaced the almond milk with cream, refined it with vanilla and created an amazing dessert.
