    Panna Cotta is a delicious molded dessert and this recipe for SunGold Kiwi Panna Cotta is exceptionally rich and creamy. The perfect blend of creamy paired with the zesty flavor of Kiwi fruit in one sweet spoonful.

    My recipe for SunGold Kiwi Panna Cotta starts with a traditional Italian recipe for the Panna Cotta. Panna Cotta is a popular Italian dessert of sweetened cream thickened with gelatin. It is often served with liqueurs, a coulis of berries, caramel or chocolate sauce. Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit is perfect for making a coulis. The refreshing, zesty flavour balances perfectly with the rich creamy Panna Cotta.

    Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit is sweeter than a green kiwifruit and tastes like a cross between a mango and a strawberry. A perfect, easy to eat fruit any time, just "Cut & Scoop"! I love dicing up Kiwi and tossing it in salad. Did you know that one kiwifruit provides all your daily vitamin C needs and two kiwifruit contain about the same amount of fibre as a bowl of bran flakes!  This nutrient-rich fruit is high in antioxidants, minerals and is a natural source of potassium.

    I have tried many versions of Panna Cotta, some that use milk or yogurt, but my favourite is this simple recipe that comes together in less than 10 minutes. When making this recipe; be sure Panna Cotta has set completely before adding the cooled kiwi coulis ( minimum of 6 hours).  The Kiwi coulis is so easy to make, just diced SunGold Kiwi that is cooked with a bit of sugar, water and some cornstarch to thicken.

      Hi, I would like to try your kiwi panna cotta but just wondering what 1 envelope of gelatin powder would equate to in grams? I don't think we get gelatin in envelopes in Australia. Many thanks

        1 envelope would equal 7 grams or 2 1/2 teaspoons
