Strawberry panna cotta. The basic panna cotta (‘cooked cream‘) of cream and vanilla originates the Piedmont region of Italy some time in the early 20th Century.
The recipe given here takes Anna Del Conte’s base recipe for vanilla panna cotta, and adds seasonal strawberries to the mix. The gelatine quantity has been recalculated to cope with the extra volume. Yield goes from 6 units to 7.
