Does it need an introduction? I guess not. It’s because who doesn’t know about this cool and creamy textured Italian dessert? I haven’t met anyone yet. Have you? Everyone just loves it. This is always a knockout every time I make it.

I must say this is one of my favorite no-bake desserts to make.

I love making and eating this strawberry panna cotta, but I don’t know why I haven’t shared it on my blog yet. Furthermore, I didn’t even realize this until a friend of mine called me last month and asked for the Strawberry Panna Cotta recipe.

I said, “Search on the blog, you’ll find it there.

She searched and said, “I couldn’t find it, can you please share the link with me?

I said, Ok. Will send in 10 minutes.

See, how confident I was when I told her that I have this recipe on the blog. However, when I searched the recipe, I couldn’t find it either.
