Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert, which translates as 'cooked cream'. This lower calorie version uses creamy avocado for a silky texture and beautiful pale green color. Put mixture in individual molds, or pour into pretty serving dishes. The taste is rich but the calories are few. Garnish with a sprig of basil or mint or some partially thawed frozen raspberries.
