1. Video tutorial: Making caramel

1. Brush 6 150ml pudding moulds with a little sunflower oil. Put the milk and cream in a saucepan. Add the lemon zest and sugar, bring slowly to the boil then remove from the heat.
2. Pour 150ml of the milk mix into a small bowl, add the gelatine and stir until it has completely dissolved. Leave the rest of the mixture to cool to room temp and infuse with the zest. Stir the 2 mixtures together and strain through a fine sieve into the moulds. Chill until set.
3. Meanwhile, to make the caramel, heat the sugar in a saucepan until it melts and turns a golden colour - you may need to swirl the pan to keep the colour even. Take off the heat and add the lemon juice, it will splutter. Remelt the caramel if it has hardened in lumps and then drizzle onto a piece of baking parchment on a chopping board. Cool and break into pieces.
4. Serve the panna cotta turned out onto plates with the caramel pieces.

  Prepared this dish for a girlie dinner party. Fabulously tasting recipe worth the messing around with gelatine. One of my party is married to an Italian and said this was the best tasting panna cotta she had ever tasted! Praise indeed!

  Fantastic - made these for desert on Christmas Day - perfect! Didn't bother with the caramel pieces as a topping and didn't miss them!

  Naughty but oh so nice!! I had a bit of a disaster with the caramel sauce, if I wanted my guests mouths to glue shut (hmmm!) I thought it best not to serve it! A sprig of mint took the bland "whiteness" look away and look superb on the plate.

  This came out well and I would do it again, the only note is that I used the same quantities as the receipe but divided between 4 glasses instread of 6 portions and the mix did seperate slightly as it was cooling. It was delicious still, but I think this was probably because there was too much in each glass and it took too long to set. Definately do again though, but I'll try small portions.

  Delicious pannacotta - did make the lemon caramel which everyone liked but it was quite a lot of work for basically decoration. I would make again and next time serve it with mixed berries - whatever loked best when shopping.

  Lovely pannacotta - tasted gorgeous. I didn't quite get the hang of the caramel, so it was more lumps of caramel rather than delicate drizzles. Also, I used one larger mould rather than individuals, which I don't think worked as well.

  Very rich and very lovely. I also had problems with the caramel, so just drizzled it over the top. Served it with fresh blueberries and it was yummy!

  This has become one of my favourite dessert recipes - it's so simple to make and is so tasty. I've played around with loads of different twists. For a grown up version, I add a little Baileys instead of infusing with lemon. Instead of the complicated caramel used in the recipe, I make a 'creme caramel' style top by making a caramel with 120 grams of sugar melted in a pan over a moderate heat then carefully adding 2 tbsp of water and stirring. I then pour it into the moulds before pouring in caramel flavoured panna cotta.

  I made this for the family and in-laws with great success. Everyone was looking for more, but sadly there wasn't any. Will have to make double next time. Have to say it was delicious and I will definitely be making again. I didn't make the caramel, but drizzled with some raspberry sauce and served with a few raspberries. Divine!
