Buttermilk Panna Cotta

March 19th, 2013

When we entertain, we tend to serve hearty food (like a big bowl of homemade mac and cheese or lasagna), so by the time dessert rolls around, everyone’s sufficiently stuffed. Typically I’ll bring out a plate of cookies, but tiny servings of buttermilk panna cotta is decadent without being over the top. The trick is to keep the serving size really small (our glasses hold only 3oz) and to top it with fresh fruit. These are wonderfully creamy, but not too sweet, and after a dinner served family-style, it’s nice to offer individual servings of dessert.

    I absolutely love your blog which I while I feel I must make this suggestion: edit some of your photos before posting. For example the last photo in this series is wonderful but would be over the top amazing if you lightened it up a bit. Very easy to do in iphoto, photoshop or whatever editing tool your personally prefer. Please don’t take this the wrong way. xoxo

    I love how easy panna cotta is and that you can make it beforehand. I make an Earl Grey panna cotta, where instead of the vanilla bean I steep a few bags of Might Leaf Earl Grey in the milk mixture right after you take it off the heat and I let it steep until I can taste the Earl Grey (about 20-30 minutes).
