panna cotta shots
I found (well actually my husband spotted them) the cutest little shot glasses at Crate & Barrel and I just couldn't wait to use them. My family came over for dinner a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd take the opportunity to use these for a nice little dessert. My mom is not huge on dessert...she just needs a couple of bites of something mildly sweet and she's good...but I know she loves berries. I found some lovely berries at a fruit stand by our house and decided I'd make panna cotta with berries. I've been eyeing this panna cotta recipe from Ina Garten for a while and thought this would be a perfect dessert. I ended up using low fat plain yogurt verses whole-milk yogurt and forgot to buy the vanilla beans but overall it was pretty good.
Next time I'll definitely follow the recipe exactly and see how it makes a difference. I also just sprinkled some sugar on the strawberries to sweeten them up and create a little glaze for the berries. I topped the panna cotta with a marionberry, sliced strawberries and blueberries. I loved the look of this dessert and found it's perfect when all you want is a few bites of something creamy and midly sweet.
