I recently hosted a Baby shower for a friend who was having a baby girl. This is the second of 3 posts on the desserts I made for the baby shower. See my previous post for the Sugar Cookie recipe.
This recipe for Strawberry and Lime Marscarpone Panna Cotta is an easy, high impact recipe. It takes very little time and skill to prepare, and tastes fantastic!! I gave it a "wow" factor by purchasing some small decorative dessert dishes from Party City,which made it look like a professionally prepared dessert.

Stay tuned the 3rd and final recipe from the shower will be for Chocolate cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing!!
Makes 10 servings where each one has approximately:
The recipe can be made with the fruit flavoring of your choice. I tend to add the fruit to taste (add some fruit, taste the mixture, then add more if needed). It is best made with fresh fruit.
Keep these refrigerated till ready to serve. I prefer to consume them at room temperature, therefore I remove them from the fridge and allow them to warm to room temperature ~30 minutes before serving.
Brand Recommendations:
This recipe is naturally Gluten Free, so I do not have brand recommendations this week.
Please post your experience with this recipe in the comments... and is it worth the calories?
