Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert which means cooked cream, believed to have originated from Northern Italian region of Piedmont. It is made by simmering together cream, milk & sugar , mixing it with gelatin and letting it cool until set. It is generally flavoured with vanilla & served with wild berries, caramel or chocolate sauce.Since cherries are in season in Germany now, I dressed the panna cotta with cherry sauce. Cherries mainly contain dietary fiber & vitamin C.
