Pana cotta plating

Toasted barley may not be a flavour typically associated with desserts but here Roberta Hall-McCarron uses it to flavour a panna cotta, which is garnished with an assortment of summer berries and buckwheat.

A light and velvety Blood Orange Mascarpone Panna Cotta served with vibrant blood orange sauce and fresh raspberries and rose petals. This easy dessert is sure to impress with little effort and less than 20 minutes of working time. Perfect to share with your Valentine this Valentine’s Day.

This is one of my favourite summer desserts. Very light, cold and perfect for hot days. Panna cotta is very similar in taste to vanilla ice cream, and the fruit mousse replaces the icing and blends beautifully with the sweet creamy part. You can also replace the mousse with jelly and serve with any fruit, nuts or other toppings of your choice. The presentation suggestion - in glasses, panna cotta at an angle - looks beautiful and is suitable as a dessert for special occasions, or to surprise…

I would love to say that the salted caramel with this dessert may steal the limelight, but you just cannot beat the creamy vanilla-scented panna cotta. It has just the right amount of sweet, fruit and crunch.
