Panna cotta
(Makes 16- 6 oz. serving)
Panna Cotta is an Italian means “Cooked Cream.” It is a luscious silky Italian custard like dessert that is a favorite for my family. My recipe has hints of honey and vanilla and I top it with fresh berries to serve. This dessert is super simple to make and can be made a few days in advance and kept in the refrigerator. So, it is a great party dessert!
