Passion fruit panna cotta

-A A +A

Panna cotta, as its name suggests, originates from Italy and more particularly from the south-east of Turin where a woman of Hungarian origin would have made this dessert following a surplus of milk at the beginning of the 19th century. Panna cotta is a recipe made from cream, milk, sugar and gelatin. Passion fruit panna cotta is another recipe from Europe that we have adapted to our local fruits, here maracudja or passion fruit but it would also be possible to prepare it with coconut milk and pineapple.
