Silky, creamy panna cotta topped with tangy raspberry balsamic sauce can be described in just one word – Heaven.
But I’m pretty sure you already knew that.
What is different in this classic Italian dessert is the sauce.
Sweet raspberry coulis has a light tangy flavor. All due to aged balsamic vinegar that does its magic.
As always, simple ingredients, easy prep steps and you have an authentic Italian homemade dessert waiting for you in the fridge.
Yum!
