Made this yesterday and it was excellent. The only changes I made were with the strawberry sauce as follows: used 1tsp vanilla, 3 tsp Grand Marnier, alittle less on the sugar, 1/8 water and 1/8 orange juice. Also used 2 tsp arrowroot powder as it was being reduced. It seemed to give the sauce a little more body. Will definately make again. Might be excellent with peaches and raspberries when they are in season.

The dessert is really great and yummy. I follow the ingredient for pudding. For the strawberry sauce, I make it much simpler. I use about 200 grams of strawberry, mix with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Put them to an electrical blender. The excellent fresh sauce comes out in seconds.

I loved the taste this came out with but the consitancy of the panna cotta was a little less firm than I like.

Love this easy recipe! I used a whole vanilla bean instead of the vanilla extract (softened bean in the milk, then scraped out the seeds & cooked it over low heat longer). It was a hit at our dinner party -- even guests on a diet couldn't resist gobbling their's all up!

I followed another reviewer's advice, and used parfait glasses. I was glad I did - because the leftover amount I put in a ramekin did not un-mold easily, and the parfait glasses looked much prettier! I had lots of leftover strawberry sauce, which was delicious on top of vanilla ice cream.

I'm italian, I live in italy and this is the dessert I make everytime I have no time to do something more complicate! It's very easy and everyone love it! In season I use strawberry like this recipe, when they are expensive, I use maple syrup or melted chocolate! If you want a chocolate version, you can add some dark chocolate to the cream and make it melting with gelatin.

Super super easy to make. I've made it twice already, and both times it was fabulous. The second time however, I used my teflon coated muffin pan. They slid right off without having to dip it in hot water or cutting around the edge. It just takes some work to get the panna cotta right side up (meaning smaller side up).
