The Panna Cotta. The dessert that is perfection, in many ways. Firstly, it looks perfect. As a spoon glides through, it is sleek and clean on the spoon. A perfect panna cotta also has that perfect wobble. The taste is so sweet and melts in your mouth.
This panna cotta recipe is extra special, and is great opportunity for residents to make the most of every mouthful from a high energy high protein perspective. The sugar and cream add energy to this dish, and the full cream milk and full cream milk powder add even more energy, but above all they offer protein to this dessert.
Each mouthful is creamy, delicious and a step to reducing the risk of malnutrition in aged care. Of course, the panna cotta can be topped with any fruits. Berries are high in Vitamin C and antioxidants, which are great for the immune system.
