Citrus panna cotta

As part of a dessert for a dinner with good friends this evening in Horsens I will be using this panna cotta and madeleines fron BBC Good Food as inspiration as I have citrus as January theme.

It is an excellent combination of sweetness and freshness with plenty of citrus flavour.

My good girl friend in Horsens again needed to be a part of the photo, so it is her fingers stealing a raspberry for her own dessert, as it turned out later :-)

The only changes, which I did for this recipe was to lower the amount of whipping cream, as the whipping cream with sold in 250 ml or 500 ml portions in Denmark and not in 600 ml portion. So instead of 600 ml whipping cream I used a combination of 500 ml whipping cream and 100 ml milk.

Also this citrus panna cotta has been forwarded for the monthly blogging event Tea Time Treats having the theme of Anythings goes. Tea Time Treast is managed by Karen from Lavender and Lovage and Jane from The Hedge Combers.
