Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries Recipe is a great dinner-party dessert: You make it ahead of time, it looks beautiful, and it tastes fantastic. For an interesting twist, try infusing the cream with flavors like lavender or rosewater.
6 SERVINGS
IngredientS:
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon unflavored powdered gelatin
3 cups whipping cream
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
2 cups assorted fresh berries
Method:
Place The Milk in a heavy, small saucepan.
