I made a raspberries coulis to dress the panna cotta, but the truth is that it tasted so good that you could eat it alone.

You can also drizzle with chocolate, caramel, dulce de leche, etc.

What Kind of Gelatin Should I Use to Make Panna Cotta?
I like to use gelatin sheets, which is usually found in gourmet grocery stores or on Amazon. After several testing, I found that gelatin sheets give a silkier texture. However, you can use granulated gelatin too. Make sure to use plain, unflavored gelatin.

Hi,
I am vegetarian and was wondering if I could substitute gelatin with either pectin or Agar Agar. If so, what is the ration?
*ratio
Hello Subha! Yes, you can use agar agar powder. However, the texture might be slightly different. Gelatin can give a «creamy» texture whereas agar gives a firmer texture. Agar is much more powerful than gelatin. 1 teaspoon agar powder is equivalent to 8 teaspoon gelatin powder. Hope this helps!
