Vanilla Pannacotta with Mixed Berries Sauce

Pannacotta is a famous Italian dessert prepared with cream,milk,sugar and along with gelatin or agar agar (a vegetarian gelling agent). This Italian dessert tastes fantabulous when the weather is too hot as they are usually served chilled.Coming to today's post for this week's blogging marathon,since my theme is mini servings, i chosed to share a classic pannacotta prepared with Madagascar vanilla pods which i recently got through a friend who came back from Madagascar island. Obviously vanilla panna cotta using Madagascar vanilla pods seriously makes a huge difference, tastewise they are just unbeatable and absolutely delicious.

Vanilla pannacotta served with berry sauce, an absolute delightful dessert to enjoy thoroughly after a super heavy lunch or dinner. Traditionally pannacotta is flavoured by vanilla,but later peoples started making pannacotta with different fruits and chocolates,even i love chocolate pannacotta very much..For a light version of this pannacotta, you can use low fat milk and low fat cream,which tastes truly delicious too.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#31.
