Simple elegant Vanilla Panna Cotta with Strawberry Jello and caramel. It’s so simple to make yet looks super fancy!
So I had my first ever Panna Cotta at this fancy Italian restaurant yesterday. I mean I always thought I was never a panna cotta person. I thought it must be tangy sort of like eating a thick greek yogurt but wrong I was!
So when we asked the lady what dessert she recommends, she said that creamy vanilla panna cotta is her favorite and they make it the best. We were little skeptical but finally we gave in and thought why not? And I was so happy that we did cause it was sort of like eating a flan but way creamier yet not that rich which was so comforting!
And after dinner, I made sure to stop on the way to pick up ingredients to make this and the lady was kind enough to tell me what ingredients they use to make that creamy panna cotta!
So here it is a really simple dessert. I gave it a little face lift and added a layer of strawberry jello underneath, then the panna cotta and then I added caramel and some fresh strawberries. I am telling you this dessert you must make and it is so easy!
This was my breakfast today and I plan on eating another one too after my dinner tonight! So creamy and if you have pure vanilla beans, then I would suggest use those!
