Panna cotta is one of my favorite desserts. I love the silky texture when you cut into it. I’m also not a fan of desserts that are too sweet, so this is perfect for me. It has a mild sweetness that is not overpowering and pairs well with the slightly tart strawberry coulis.
Please note that if all your green tea powder does not dissolve, it may all sink to the bottom of the mold. We had that issue for some of ours, which we just covered with sliced strawberries. It doesn’t impact the flavor of your panna cotta, just the appearance. If you are worried about this, you can strain your mixture first before pouring into the molds.
Be careful when removing your panna cotta from the molds. They should loosen up easily with hot water, but you may need to run a knife around the edge a little too.
Of course, you don’t need to use the same dome-shaped mold as us. Feel free to use cups, ramekins, or mason jars to make this dessert. Then you don’t need to bother with flipping the panna cotta out. Just get a spoon and dig in!
Keep your strawberries on your panna cotta, not the floor,
