A delicious and easy recipe for Panna Cotta, made from mascarpone.
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Check out the Savour the Flavour Show on YouTube when I made various flavours.
If ever there was a dessert to rival my love affair with cheesecakes, it is the Panna Cotta! A few years ago, I went through a let’s try this & let’s try that stage with panna cotta, resulting in a notebook full of a myriad of flavours! I shall endeavour to get those recipes photographed and uploaded at some point! This is the plain old but delectable vanilla version!
One of the best things about serving this at a party is that you make everything the day before!
My favourite way to serve a vanilla panna cotta is with some stewed fruit, or coulis, either raspberry or strawberry.
On a side note, to me, warm panna cotta tastes just like homemade custard, and that’s how my girls have custard as they’re allergic to eggs.
You might also be interested in a similar recipe to this, just served differently, here.
Shall we get our aprons on?

I love panna cotta and these are just beautiful. 🙂 I love the red and white color contrasting each other. i made something similar, with a natural sweetener but don’t have mascarpone in them. They were good so I’m sure these are wonderful and delicious! I love mascarpone!
Oh yummy, these look delicious Azlin! You are so talented.
