Panna cotta

Strawberry Panna Cotta

Panna cotta translates as "cooked cream". It's another tipical Italian dessert. Some people enjoy the panna cotta on its own, but it is usually served with a sauce which adds some sweetness (in the foto with strawberries sauce): the cream itself is supposed to be only subtly sweet.

Ingredients

  1. 1l of cream
  2. 100gr of sugar
  3. 4 eggs
  4. 2 packets of vainilla extract
  5. 1 cup of "amaretto" (liquor); you can change it by cognac
  6. some caramel

Preparation

  1. Beat the eggs and mix them up with the sugar and vainilla.
  2. Add the amaretto liquor and the cream.
  3. Cook it in a double boiler at the oven (90').
  4. Place into a container and cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
  5. Add some caramel on the top when is going to be eaten.

You can change the caramel and put on some fruit sauce (raspberries, strawberries...)
