5 Perfect Panna Cotta

Naturally eggless and gluten free, panna cotta (literally "cooked cream") is a flan-like Italian dessert made from sweetened cream and gelatin. Often flavored with vanilla bean or instant coffee, this rich and creamy dessert is incredibly easy and incomparably elegant. Traditionally, the vanilla custard is served with fresh fruit or a sweet-tart fruit compote (like balsamic strawberries or port-poached cherries) to balance the sweetness of the cream. Here are 5 fantastic recipes for this simple summertime dessert!
Vanilla Panna Cotta with Raspberry-Rose Sauce
	In addition to being incredibly aromatic, this recipe is as simple as it is sophisticated.
Chocolate Panna Cotta with Port-Balsamic Cherries 
	The ultimate trifecta of wine, chocolate and cherries combine in this decadent dessert. (Translated)
Honey-Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Grilled Apricots
	The perfect balance of sweet & sour make for a luscious dessert.
Almond Panna Cotta with Berry Coulis
	Using almond milk instead of cream, this vegan & dairy free version is simply sinful. GFCF
Irish Cream Panna Cotta with Mocha Ganache
	Need I say more? Gluten free? Be sure to use GF Irish Cream (like St. Brendan's or Carolans).
