Wow Diana! My girlfriends & I went for a fancy dinner a few weeks ago & finished it off with panna cotta. We've been craving it ever since. I got your recipe, went shopping & followed it exactly. Before ladeling it into the dishes, I spread a caramel dip on the bottom (as the restaurant had done). It makes for a pleasant surprise on the bottom;) It turned out EXCELLENT! Thank you.

Oh my goodness, this was wonderful. I have never had panna cotta before but i saw it being made on tv and thought it looked interesting so i thought i'd give it a try. I halved the amount of sugar, and replaced some of the heavy cream with milk as suggested by another reviewer. I also used a jarred Dulche de Leche sauce on the bottom of some of the cups and strawberry/rhubarb jam on the bottom of others. This was so easy to make and the recipe seems VERY versatile. Next time i am going to flavour with Creme de Cacao and Creme de menthe for a grasshopper panna cotta with a kick. Thanx for sharing this recipe, it's a keeper.
