The birthplace of dessert is Italian Piedmont . The literal translation of this delicacy from Italian sounds like “boiled cream”, but it’s rather a cream pudding with the addition of various ingredients.
To prepare the dish, the cream with sugar and vanilla is heated and boiled over low heat for 15 minutes. Gelatin is added to the mass, the mixture is then poured into molds, after cooling, spread from the mold onto plates. Panna cotta is served in small portions with fruit sauces and pieces of fruit or berries, as well as chocolate or caramel sauce. The traditional panna cotta is white in color [2] .
History
Earlier in this dish, boiled fish bones were used instead of gelatin and made without sugar , since it was expensive .
Several similar versions of this dish can be found in Greece , France and Finland . For example, a Bavarian prescription cream is very similar to a panna cotta made from milk and cream with the addition of gelatin. Blanmange is also a cold dessert with gelatin or boiled fish bones, sometimes with starch.
