About

The success of this dish lies in its very own simplicity. I only make this recipe when the ingredients are at their best in season. When trying this recipe, chef Monica Galleti said: “Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful,” and remained in silence as she continued to eat it all – the highest praise you can get!

Ingredients

½ a caprese cake,

Method

To make the panna cotta, mix the double cream with milk, sugar and vanilla pod seeds. In a saucepan, bring the mixture to a boiling point, until the sugar is well dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour mixture in a separate bowl. Melt the pre-soaked gelatine into the panna cotta mixture, and let it cool down. Using silicone moulds, prepare 8 individual panna cottas.
