Raspberry Panna Cotta

Hello!! It has been quite a long time since my last publication, but as a lot of you probably know I went on vacation. I spend some days in the beautiful Algarve, in the south of Portugal. You can check some of the pictures I took on my instagram. If you have the chance you have to go! Lovely lanscapes, amazing views, nice people and the most important delicious and cheap food almos everywhere. 

Todays I have a soft and yummy panna cotta with raspberries, and the raspberries are from my little orchard! yes! well acutally the amount you see in the picture was all I could get last weekend and I top this dessert. For the coulis in the base I used frozen ones. I would wish to have a bigger orchard.
