Panna cotta

Another Italian dessert recipe.....( Italian dessert have been my all time favourite ) This dessert is eaten mainly in the north of Italy, where dairy products are used a lot. It is very rich, so servings are small, and i like to serve it with a puree of strawberry or raspberry...trust me u gonna like it:)

300 ml double cream
2 tbsp caster sugar, or more to taste ~ (i use 2 1/2 tbsp)
8 drops pure vanilla extract
2 tsp agar agar or 1 tbsp powdered gelatine *halal* ~ (i prefer gelatine for the best result.)


1. Put the cream, sugar and vanilla extract in a saucepan and simmer for 2-3 minutes ( do not boiling)
2. Dissolve the agar2 or gelatine in about 2 tbsp warm water. beat well into the cream.
3. Pour into a small serving bowl or ramekin dishes. Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours before serving.
