Ever dreamt of grapes exploding with sweet, jammy flavor? Roasted, they transform into sun-kissed treasures, perfect for elevating any dessert. Forget bland raisins, these babies are nature's candy! We've embraced their magic in this Greek yoghurt panna cotta, where they pair beautifully with the creamy, wobbly delight. We love black grapes for their drama, but feel free to experiment with red or white! And trust us, leftover sticky grapes are cheese platter champions.
The secret to panna cotta perfection? The right wiggle! Titanium-strength gelatine sheets (specialty supermarkets, your hero) ensure just the right texture, smooth as silk with a dreamy bounce. We've also added a touch of yoghurt, balancing the grape's sweetness for a symphony of flavors.
Heads up, this recipe requires a day's advance prep – but trust us, the wait is worth it! You'll be feasting your eyes (and stomachs) on a masterpiece worthy of Zeus himself.
