Honey Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta with Berries
I made this Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta for my sister-in-law’s birthday lunch. This was the perfect ending to a wonderful time together. The creaminess of the panna cotta is a lovely base for sweetened berries.
I had fun decorating. I created a menu card and printed it out on thick card stock. It was also a fun excuse to use my great-grandmother’s green dessert dishes. The kids came to the lunch and I set up their own table outside, just off my dining room.
When I was up in Napa I bought a Late Harvest Riesling from the Prager Winery but another dessert wine would be substituted. They used Muscat in the original recipe. Just this week I made a Nectarine Soup with the remaining Riesling that I can’t wait to share with you.
