Raspberry Panna Cotta
What it is
This is a pre-made raspberry panna cotta, a classic Italian dessert. It features a smooth, creamy custard base infused with raspberry flavor. The dessert is typically set with gelatin, giving it a delicate wobble. It is often presented in an individual serving pot, ready to be enjoyed straight from the package. The vibrant red of the raspberry coulis adds a visually appealing contrast to the pale cream.

To serve, simply remove the lid from the pot. You can enjoy the panna cotta directly from its container.
