Green tea & vanilla pannacotta with chocolate sauce
Pannacotta is a fantastic Italian dessert – it basically means boiled cream. My recipe is half milk and half cream, so it's not too heavy when it dissolves on your tongue. I've used green tea to flavour it, which has no relevance to Italy but works so well, especially with the chocolate sauce.
