Rose panna cotta

Published: 30th Jun 2015

When we go to my in-laws for dinner, sometimes my husband's mum will ask if we want panna cotta for dessert. I always, every time say "yes please!"

In my head panna cotta is a fancy pudding, too fancy for me to make in any case. And roses, to my mind, are a decadent edible flower. So, that's why I chose rose panna cotta - the best of both worlds.

I actually discovered that panna cotta isn't difficult to make at all, so that's a bonus for someone like me who really likes it a lot. This one is flavoured with rose water and decorated with rose petals and crystalised roses with a little viola for good measure.
