Imagine taking a bite out of a velvety smooth cloud infused with the rich and nutty essence of hazelnuts. Each spoonful is a symphony of delicate sweetness with subtle hints of caramel. Truly a decadent dessert.
Panna cotta is a popular Italian dessert that translates to “cooked cream” in English. It is a creamy and silky dessert made by simmering together cream, sugar, and gelatin, which helps it set into a smooth and firm texture.
Pana cotta is very easy to make and you can prepare this creamy Italian delight right at home. Here is one of our favorite panna cotta recipes flavored with hazelnuts and caramel. Simply divine!
The base of the panna cotta, or “cocked cream”, can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, though it needs to be refrigerated to gain that silky melt-in-your mouth effect.
How to Make the Caramel
We make caramel with sweetened condensed milk which we buy in small cans. Make sure the condensed milk is sweetened else the end result will be completely different.
We boil the can(s) in a large pot for about 4 to 5 hours over a low heat. The can needs to be completely submerged in water, so check regularly if you have enough water in the pot and add more water if needed.
After roughly 4 1/2 hours the delicious caramel is formed.
