Panna Cotta alla Nocciola
Dear friends! 👋
Back with another classic at Mama Isa's Cooking School!
A beautifully light and delicious dessert that takes all of 15m to make!
In Italian language, Panna Cotta means “cooked cream”.
This famous dessert, inspired by custards but without any eggs, was born about a century ago in the north of Italy, Piedmont region.
Panna Cotta can be made several ways.
The basic panna cotta consists of heavy cream sugar, milk, vanilla bean and seeds, caster sugar and gelatine leaves, which act as thickeners.
The many variations to the basic panna cotta recipe include adding different extracts, nut pastes or flavors.
Today we love to add pure hazelnut paste and turn it into something extraordinary!
The process is simple, so follow the recipe below.
