  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.

  Simple and delicious!! I swapped the lemon zest for a split vanilla pod and served with a raspberry compote. Yum =)

  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!

  How do I convert metric measurements into imperial? I can't get my head around the metric and my scales are the old balance type. Thanks for any help.

  Absolutely delicious. My 10 year old daughter made this (supervised) for a family dinner and it tasted gorgeous. So simple and so tasty. The caramel worked well but next time I think we will serve it with a raspberry compote.

  I cannot believe that this only takes 30 mins to make. I'm guessing this does not include chilling time.

  Have tried a few pannacotta recipes for a dinner party and this one came out on top, but have found needed to tweak amount of gelatine, using powdered too sloppy, have found 3 leaves of gelatine just perfect. Also added a limoncello drizzle, mixing icing sugar with the liqueur , yummy. This is really quick and much easier than I thought.

  This really is easy but didn't really think it had much of a lemon flavour so will definitely add more next time and didn't think the caramel topping added too much to the dish so would leave out but will certainly do again

  Lovely, subtle flavour but I think more gelatine is needed if you are going to turn out of moulds as they are a little too soft to properly hold their shape. 3 tsps would be better. Also,the lemon caramel is quite tangy so plain caramel might be better if you like it sweet.

  This dessert is excellent. Having read the above comments I decided to add an extra leaf of gelatine.... they all turned out lovely. I didnt think that the lemony flavour would come through after straining the zest out...it but it did, and was a very delicate flavour. Certainly recommend this delicious dessert, and yes it was easy!!!

  Very tasty. Used the sheets of Gelatine however I think you need to melt them in cold water so that they are soft before adding them to the hot mixture and maybe 5 sheets of gelatine so that they hold their shape. Tried the toffee topping, not recommended. I put the sugar topping in the bin. Very enjoyable.
