Elegant panacotta...

Friends, all of you are really going to love this stylish, easy to make and impressive dessert called "Panacotta". Originally, it is an Italian dessert.

Few days ago, I came across the earlier recipes for this dessert. Italian Chefs were using fish bones after boiling it for hours together. This collagen turns into gelatin type of substance upon cooling.


Now, after years of experimentation and testing, this dessert have evolved into what is known as a gelatine based dessert, flavoured with vanilla or any other fruit flavours and to be served chilled.

Being a chef, I have fabricated and tried to present this dessert in a distinct manner, which will make it possible for you to try it at home.


So scroll down for the recipe ....!!! Happy Cooking !!!
