Panna cotta recipe

Panna cotta is a dessert that means "cooked cream" in Italian. It would not be difficult to prepare if it did not contain gelatine. Gelatine is an ingredient that, if used incorrectly, can create a confectionery nightmare. But, if we follow the tips, the preparation itself can be a lot of fun.

• Make sure the gelatine is really well dissolved before adding it.
• Avoid adding fruit with a high bromelain content (Bromelain is an enzyme found in certain fruits, including pineapple and kiwi fruit).
• Watch the amount of fat.
• ''Cook, do not boil''; this should be the main rule when making panna cotta.
