The Panna cotta with caramel, a great classic that never disappoints! A simple and practical dessert that you can serve plain, or garnish with Nutella or fresh fruit.

Nothing complicated in preparing it, a typical spoon dessert from Italian cuisine, of Piedmontese origin, made with cream and sugar that thicken thanks to gelatin, creating a dessert that is served cold with a pudding-like consistency. I recommend trying the coffee panna cotta and the chocolate panna cotta, very appealing variations!
