Kaffir Lime Scented White Chocolate Panna Cotta
Kaffir lime and white chocolate together make a perfect partnership in this delightful fragrant pannacotta.
People often ask me where I get my inspiration. Luckily for me, the best answer I have to that question is that I eat out a lot, and so that is where it all comes from. (I often take a sneaky pic of the menu if I like the look of lots of it.) I ate something like this at a restaurant in Bali and knew instantly I had to recreate it for you, and I don’t mind saying I feel as though this came out better than the original. Amazing, beautifully fragrant and a real treat. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
As an aside, if you wanted to replace the milk with coconut milk, they would be equally delicious.
