Eggless Vanilla Panna Cotta with Plum Compote
by Tarla Dalal
If there’s one dessert that can be described as absolute total fun, it is the panna cotta. A moulded Italian dessert, the perfect panna cotta wobbles on the plate and challenges you to grab a spoonful without it falling down!
Once inside your mouth, it’s nothing short of bliss. Made of milk and cream and flavoured with vanilla, it has a heavenly taste and indulgent mouth-feel.
You can use vanilla pods instead of essence to get a more elegant and pure flavour. The creaminess of the panna cotta is complemented beautifully by the fruity taste of plum compote, which lends a complex sweet, tangy and sour flavour.
You can achieve a similar experience with compote of any berry like strawberry, blueberry or mixed berries too. To remove the panna cotta from the mould, dip it in a bowl of hot water for five seconds making sure that no water enters the mould. The panna cotta will come out smoothly.
