Yogurt Panna Cotta Flecked with Vanilla Bean
Panna cotta, which means “cooked cream” in Italian, is an ethereal dessert that traditionally consists of cream and milk set very softly with gelatin. This lightened version uses tangy yogurt in place of the cream. It’s delicious on its own or accompanied with a sweet-tart winter fruit preserve like this pomegranate-orange compote.
