Who does not love Panna Cotta, the thick, creamy, rich Italian dessert? At least I love it and so does my family, especially my little one. I do make it quite often for the guests as well, given the process is really easy and hassle-free. Now, how about making the normal Panna Cotta a bit differently, maybe a richer and tastier version of it? I did it a few days back by adding some Banoffee spread by SPRIG to the Panna Cotta. Sounds Interesting, isn’t it? The famous Italian dessert Panna Cotta is boosted with the English flavors of Banoffee Pie; that is what my Banoffee Panna Cotta is all about.

Banoffee Panna Cotta with a Twist!
I topped the Panna Cotta with compote prepared with fresh Cherries to give the dessert a feel of sourness to adjust the sweetness. Panna Cotta is my little one's favorite dessert, and I found her cherishing every bit of the Banoffee Panna Cotta. She ended up finishing her portion of Panna Cotta with fresh cherry compote delightfully.
Banoffee Pie
Banoffee Pie is a famous English dessert or better to say Pie prepared with ripe bananas and cream caramel. SPRIG has recently launched a dessert spread that is inspired by the iconic Banoffee pie, and they named it "Banoffee". The Banoffee can be enjoyed with a scoop of ice cream and also on warm buttered toast, topped with a cake, filled with pies or crepes, or drizzled over puddings and custard. However, I decided to make Panna Cotta with the Banoffee and rest is a delightful dessert experience.
A Fusion Panna Cotta!
I enjoy developing recipes along with the process of nurturing traditional food. Whenever I am available with something different, I try to reinvent a special spread. This recipe, of Panna Cotta with banoffee, is well complemented by the Fresh Cherry Compote I served with it. Cherries are presently in season in India, and Panna Cotta goes really well with fresh fruit-based compote. I, though, love using berries to make the compote but Cherries worked perfectly with the recipe of Panna Cotta with banoffee.

Notes
- I have used 25% fresh cream; in case you are going to use full cream replace 1 cup cream with 1 cup of milk.
- The Sugar and Banoffee are to be adjusted as per taste while making the Panna Cotta. I prefer the sugar on the lighter side.
