The original recipe Panna cotta, is an Italian dessert made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar, mixing this with gelatin, and letting it cool until set. An Italian phrase which literally means “cooked cream”, appeared in Woman’s Day and is not labor intense. It is so similar to our custard that Mawmaw added the recipe as part of the Nouveau Cajun. This was a big hit at a recent dinner party.
