What Is Panna Cotta
It’s hard to know what to make because every single one of the recipes looks so darn good. But, I choose the Honey Panna Cotta, a sweet, smooth, creamy little confection.
This cool and refreshing dessert is basically cooked cream with a bit of yogurt and capped with a luminous band of honey-flavored gelatin. It’s a great “make-ahead” dessert for a party table, and with it’s simple, not too sweet flavor, it would be the perfect ending to a heavy meal.
I garnished the panna cotta with spun sugar, which was pretty quick and easy too ( I watched this video on how to spin sugar)……..just a little messy. But you could certainly garnish with a piece of fruit or almond slice.
Smooth, creamy and oh so decadent!

My dream party (which my boyfriend & I actually plan on doing this year or next) is a 1960′s themed Christmas party! I would love to have everyone dressed in 1960′s fashion. The house would be decorated with retro ornaments and even a white Christmas tree. The food would be vintage recipes… down to the classic jello-mold. That would be soooo much fun!

My dream party this very moment is a princess party for my soon to be 4 year old daughter. I have been researching ways to do this on a small budget. I want to make it so memorable for my little girl and i know Amy is the girl to do it. she has such wonderful ideas!
My dream party would be Moroccan themed – a tent filled with gorgeous textiles, tangines full of exotic flavours. Perhaps a camel or two?? 😉
My dream party would be something etheral. A grassy clearing encircled by a grove of ancient trees, with crystals and candles hanging off the branches. Long tables set up in a rectangular configuration in the middle of the clearing, with a fire pit in the center. Tall candleabras stand as senturies at the vine covered archway entrance….
A dream party would definitely have some chocolate-covered treats–the bitesized kind so no one feels guilty about eating too many!
My dream party would be my wedding 🙂 My fiance and I have been engaged for almost two years, and while planning every little detail throughout our engagement, much of my time has been spent on the food and desserts haha. I have always said that at my wedding I want my guests to be full, happy, and having a good time–and what better way to do that than to fill them full of sweet treats!
