Panna Cotta (Peach Panna Cotta) Recipe
Known as a traditional dessert specific to the Piedmont region of Northern Italy, "Panna Cotta" literally means cooked cream and is made by hardening milk with gelatin. Although it is known that the classic dessert is flavored with vanilla, peach or coffee or caramel, recently forest fruits such as blackberries and raspberries are also used. Since no eggs are used, it is very light. Bon appetit!

Soak the gelatin leaves in cold water, let them sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze them with your hand and add them to the creamy milk mixture. Stir over low heat until the gelatin dissolves and remove from heat.

Grease the glass soufflé dishes with butter using a brush to prevent the ingredients from sticking.

Divide the panna cotta mixture among the containers. Cool in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Meanwhile, for the peach sauce, peel the peaches and chop them into small pieces. Put it in a sauce pot, add sugar, cook until it softens and mash.

Take the cooled desserts out of the fridge and serve them cold, either by turning them upside down or in their own containers, with peach sauce over them. If you want an elegant presentation, you can decorate it with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy your meal!
