Tiramisu Panna Cotta

Updated: Feb 29, 2020

What's Xmas without all the goody desserts? I posted this dish before on my Instagram quite some time ago. I was trying to use whatever I have in the kitchen to create a simple tiramisu; the whole panna cotta thingy just popped into my head. You know, one of those light bulb moments.


That was how this dish is born. I thought of serving this creation for the Xmas dinner and also take the opportunity to really do it properly and better this time. I added a sweet dessert Italian wine to my panna cotta this time to bring out that tiramisu vibe. On top of that, I also added all the glistering gold flakes to make it grander.

Ain't that a beauty? In my opinion, there is still room for improvement and it is far from perfect as I'd gathered some feedback that the savoiardi doesn't really go along with the panna cotta. I will re-visit this recipe in the future to perfect it for sure. In the meantime, let's enjoy this adorable dessert this Xmas with your love ones. Merry Xmas!
