Panna cotta is a very easy recipe. It is as versatile as crème brulée or pot de crème. The base is just a dairy with a gelling agent like agar or gelatin. You can create your own signature version by adding your own twist to it. You can use different flavors like rose, strawberry, pandan, peppermint, mocha or any other savory flavor that you can imagine. It is a true culinary chameleon.

- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tsp rose paste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tsp agar agar

Immediately add the dissolved agar cream mixture and whisk constantly. Remove from the heat. Add the vanilla extract and the rose paste.
- Pour the liquid into mini ramekins. When the liquid is firm, plastic-wrap each glass and chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator or overnight. Remove panna cotta from the refrigerator. Depending on what presentation you’d like, dip the bottoms of the glasses into a warm water bath for a few seconds. Turn out the panna cotta forms onto serving plates or serve directly in the glasses. Drizzle the panna cotta with grenadine syrup. Decorate with crushed pralines.
