Espresso Marbled Panna Cotta

LilKiwiChicken's Note:

This is from Donna Hay's Autumn Issue 2 (from about 2001 I think). I added more vanilla (you can reduce this to half if you only like a slight vanilla taste) and used raw sugar (not as sweet). I have made this with raspberries as well (see separate recipe). Looks great in a clear glass so you can see the pretty marbled effect (and no messy unmoulding!) Time doesn't include refrigeration time.

Yummy! This is so good. I made it exactly as stated. Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.

Yum! I made this for hubby who is a coffee lover and he really enjoyed it. At the same time I made Marbled Berry Panna Cotta for Little Miss (DD), which uses the same Panna Cotta mixture, so the whole family was happy. Kept to the recipe except used lactose free milk, cream and vegan gelatine. Thank you LittleKiwiChook - *Made for Zaar World Tour 4*
