Kicked Up Panna Cotta with Fresh Raspberry Sauce

"I love Panna Cotta, the traditional Italian eggless custard. It makes a wonderfully light finish to a heavy meal. Occasionally, I depart from the traditional recipe and add a bit of sour cream for a whole new depth of flavor. Fresh fruit is delightful with this dish, though you could serve it with a silky chocolate sauce. Very nice served in heart shaped ramekins! Prep time includes chilling time for the custard. Leftover sauce may be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and served over ice cream, lemon tarts, or ?"

  1. Delicious panna cotta - very rich and creamy. The directions are easy to follow, too. We served it with blueberries, and will definitely make again with different fruits/sauces. Thanks so much.
     
  2. I agree- the sour cream in place of the more traditional milk adds not only a nice "whang" of flavor, but a creamier mouth feel. Whole family loved this. Next time, I might add a bit of lemon zest to the panna cotta and omit it from the sauce. This was awesome0 my family's new favorite.
     
  3. I absolutely love this panna cotta. It is heavenly. I have made it several times, serving with whatever fruit I have on hand. I have not made the sauce yet, but I think it would be wonderful. I have served this to guests several times with rave reviews. Thank you for a delicious recipe.
