Chef’s Insight
The secret behind perfectly set panna cotta lies in the ratio of cream to gelatin and not over-chilling it. A perfect balance between these two elements is key!
Notes
Panna cotta can also be made with coconut cream for a dairy-free version. Just replace heavy cream with an equal amount of full-fat coconut milk.
