This is probably the easiest dessert recipe out there. But real taste of a panna cotta lies in the ingredients.
There is a huge difference between using a fresh vanilla pod and vanilla essence. Though the essence is sufficient for your first attempt, you’ll need fresh vanilla for the taste that’s from paradise.
Also increase sugar a bit if you are on the sweeter side.

- 4 Cups heavy Cream
- ½ Cup Castor Sugar
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Essence
