Coffee White Chocolate Panna Cotta Coffee White Chocolate Panna Cotta, time for an indulgent dessert that screams coffee! It’s been a busy few days, or maybe weeks. A lot happening on every possible front which barely leaves me time to blog. Sometimes I fall into a guilt trap for starving the poor hungry PAB, so I figured the sweet coffee indulgence should be a nice way to offload my guilt. This dessert rocked, the flavours of local Bru shone through, the taste nice and mature after an overnight chill! For those who know me, coffee is my first choice in dessert. Coffee in desserts @ PABOf course it’s another matter that I was in Bangalore a couple of days ago styling tea for a shoot; tea that was almost too pretty to brew!!

Rose Mist Summer Darjeeling White Tea ...almost to pretty to brewPanna cotta has been in the news at home of late for all sorts of reasons. Good because this was an experiment that rocked, and one that I have made several times over. Made it most recently for my friends from the Swiss Made Grand Tour crew who visited last week. Bad because it was part of a plagiarism row that hit our small local food bloggers community. A similar panna cotta recipe, Espresso Panna Cotta,  from PAB was one of many to be ‘copy pasted‘ verbatim! We live and learn, and hopefully ‘the copiers’ will too!

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

    Love the way u have tied the coffee and chocolate into your comfort zone. Loving the black coffee boiler too. Saw ur Swiss pics I guess it was 10 days of fun. Did not see any loot from there on FB 🙂 Looking forward to seeing more trip pics thru ur eyes. Congrats for the right attention and others let go.

    • Deeba @ PAB

      Thank you Meenu. No loot from there at all. We were driving through the country and shooting all day long. Didn’t see any shops. There was no time at all.

  • Sasha

    This looks lovely and as a coffee-lover, a must-try!

    The props, the photos….everything looks mesmerizing!
    Your energy to accomplish so much while balancing life as a wife
    and a mother, your attention to details, your penchant for perfection:
    you never cease to amaze me! Thank you for all that you do.

    PS:
    While you’ve tagged this as ‘eggless’, it should be noted that gelatin isn’t considered ‘vegetarian’.
    A truly vegetarian option would be to try it with agar agar 🙂

      Thank you Sasha. I’ve tagged it eggless for people who might be allergic to eggs. I have not tagged it vegetarian since I know the origin of gelatin
