Earl Grey Panna Cotta 伯爵茶奶凍
A creamy, delicious and rich panna cotta is the easiest yet delicious dessert. Panna cotta in Italian means cooked cream, literally just cook the cream and set with gelatine.
The variations of panna cotta are endless, this time I make the earl grey flavour. It is not too sweet with hint of earl grey flavour. On top of it, is earl grey jelly to balance the flavour. Try and hope you love it!
