Panna Cotta

Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert made from sweetened cream that is thickened with gelatin and molded. The name translates to "cooked cream" in English, reflecting its primary ingredient. The dessert is typically flavored with vanilla but can also be infused with other flavors such as coffee, citrus, or fruit. It is known for its silky, smooth texture and is often served chilled, sometimes accompanied by a fruit sauce, caramel, or chocolate drizzle. Panna Cotta can be presented in a variety of ways, including in individual servings or as a large mold that can be sliced. It is valued for its simplicity and the elegance it brings to dessert offerings.
