White Chocolate Panna Cotta served with fresh strawberries, dried pomegranate seeds and cocoa nibs for a delicious sweet treat that comes together in minutes and is also gluten free.

My children refer to the Panna Cotta as a ‘milk jelly’! Sweet, creamy, jiggly and so delicious, it looks like a dessert that one would have spent time to create wherein the truth is that it is one of the quickest things to make. The fridge does all the work for you. Just like you would flavour milk or any other form of dairy, the Panna Cotta works  on the same principle. After all it is a ‘jellified’ or rather version of milk. The beauty of this dessert is that it is incredibly versatile! Whether you like yours light or decadent or even extra creamy, you can choose between milk, half and half or cream. For people who are lactose intolerant, easily swap milk with dairy free alternatives  nut milks, coconut milk, rice milk to name a few. For more healthier variations use buttermilk, yoghurt and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Want something exotic" The dairy can be infused with rosewater, lavender, spices, fruit purees or citrus zest! Finally, how can there not be a chocolate version of this dessert" It is equally lovely infused with white, milk or dark chocolate but White Chocolate Panna Cotta is my favourite especially with red berries. It’s one of the most delicious pairings ever.
