This light and delicate strawberry coconut pannacotta is perfect treat for your anniversary or valentine’s day party.
Panna cotta is an Italian dessert. In Italy, It means ‘cooked cream’. It is a molded chilled dessert popular throughout Italy. It is unmolded just before serving, but you can serve it in pretty dessert glasses as well.The main ingredients of this dessert are cream and gelatine.
This desert is very light and airy. It is easy to make and can be prepared in advance. There are many ways to make it, but the easiest way is to simply mix milk and cream and heat this mixture, adding some gelatin and sweetener, and letting it cool until set.
I bought some fresh strawberries from market few days back. At first I thought I would make strawberry pannacotta. But later I decided to add another flavour with it . What can be this other flavour rather than mild, delicious coconut milk?
