Notes
Check yours how to prepare gelatine instructions, they might vary from my method.
The panna cotta can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. It is great a make-ahead dessert.
To make a vegan panna cotta, you can substitute agar agar for gelatine. Follow the instructions on the agar agar package to achieve a vegan-friendly result.
