Tips for making Panna Cotta
- You can use any combination of milk, plant-based alternatives, and cream to make a panna cotta dessert. However, the less fat in the milk or cream product, the softer the panna cotta will be! Making a panna cotta with soy milk, for example, will set it very softly, so it will be harder to unmold it!
- Instead of using a vanilla extract, scrape a vanilla bean into the warm milk to experiment with new flavors. For a delicious straciatella flavor, add some chopped chocolate chunks, or use lemon or almond extracts in the panna cotta mixture. You can replace some of the milk with espresso or puréed fruit of your choice. These are only a few suggestions; the possibilities with panna cotta are unlimited!
- To decorate your panna cotta garnish it with fresh fruit of your liking, drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel sauce on top, use raspberry or strawberry jam to drizzle lightly on top, sprinkle with some chopped nuts or grated chocolate!
Add some crushed chocolate in the mixture and experiment with different flavors
