Panna cotta is an Italian dessert and means boiled cream. After an Italian meal I find panna cotta a tasty dessert, it is refreshing. This panna cotta is with yuzu. The freshness of citrus is the tasty thing about this dessert. Yuzu is a citrus fruit that has its origins in Asia. Very fresh. Fresh yuzu fruits are difficult to obtain in the Netherlands, but the better wholesaler has fresh yuzu juice.
On top of this dish I did a pastille of yuzu.
