Panna cotta is an Italian dessert that is made of sweetened cream and milk mixture. It is thickened with gelatin and molded. The cream may be flavored with various flavorings like coffee, tea, lime or even lavender.
It is one of the easiest desserts that you can make and have it ready for any event. It needs very few ingredients and can be quickly put together. The only thing is it needs time to set in the fridge. So it is always a good idea to have this dessert prepared a day before you need it.

I have paired this beautiful panna cotta with Butterscotch Ice cream and macadamia nut praline. The chocolaty creaminess is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of butterscotch.
