After a very challenging and fun creation of pandan spaghetti & strawberry agar agar, I thought I would bring you a very down to earth recipe that happens to be one of my favourites, which I hope could be yours too.
As the time is ticking, I am counting down – 5 more days to go! I am on schedule to get everything posted for the Royal Selangor – Get Your Jelly On– 30-day Challenge, I think. I might come out with a last minute change for some silly and fun recipes.
Panna cotta is an Italian dessert, which is made by slow simmering of cream, milk and sugar. Gelatin is added and let it cool to set. It is served with wild berries, caramel, chocolate sauce or fruit coulis. It has a smooth and slightly creamy texture, almost assemble the texture of dou hua (tofu dessert).
I chose to use 2 types of berries – strawberries & raspberries, that I lightly poached with sugar, then serve it with the panna cotta. The slight sweetness of the creamy panna cotta, coupled with a slight tanginess of raspberries and fresh fragrant of strawberries make this a to-die-for dessert! There isn’t much cooking involved, you just need to wait for it to be set. So, prepare it a day before could be a great idea!
