Recipe- Refresh Yourself During Summer Days With Strawberry And Blueberry Panna Cota

Strawberry and Blueberry Panna Cotta is a 3 layered fancy Italian no bake dessert with interesting flavors in each layer. It’s sweet, creamy and tangy, plus very easy to make and you can prepare it in advance.

Whenever I prepare panna cotta, it also reminds me of another french dessert called Blancmange. Generally, I prepare panna cotta with only 2 layers, that is with one fruit layer and one cream layer. This is the first time I am trying out 3 layers so that I can take it for potluck and also show my love for the county that has taught me so much.
