Panna Cotta is one of those desserts that sound so fancy, but so simple and easy to make.
Panna Cotta is basically creamy jello. I used half milk and half cream to cut down on fat. And Agave instead of sugar.
This Panna Cotta tastes even better the next day. Â I topped it stewed strawberries. I simply cooked down fresh berries from the market until they were soft and syrupy and finished it off with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Oh Sweet Holy Mother of Chocolate Deliciousness, this dessert right here.

Let that sink in for a second.

Have you ever wished that there was just a little bit more velvety batter on the spoon?

A bowl of brownie batter.
And you can put stuff in it if you like!! I added chopped snickers bar, because it’s his favourite. Â I’m still giddy with happiness about this. Such a fun and delicious desert. I served it with shortbread cookies and strawberries.
You’ll want to invite friends over just so you can make this!

O.M.G! Chips!
Next time I made this we tried it with chips. Â I LOVED it with potato chips. It was so good that I was expecting a knock on the door and at any moment someone would confiscate it because chips and brownie dip was so good its illegal.

Friends don’t let friends eat brownie batter dip by themselves.
This Corn Bread Pudding was the best thing I ate this week. A savoury bread pudding that will blow your mind. Cornbready, corny, light, moist and I rather loved the crusty, slightly salty brown crust.
I used spinach because I had spinach that needed using up. There are endless substitutions you could use instead – mushrooms, kale, bacon, broccoli, zucchini,chicken, shrimp..
A wonderful way to use up leftovers. This would be a great alternative to quiche for brunch.
Or with a meaty sauce..
Or cranberry sauce..
Ingredients
1 cup corn, Always eat organic corn!!
2 green onions, chopped
1 cup spinach, blanched and chopped.
1 cup self rising corn flour
4 eggs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 tbls butter, melted (optional, i usually omit the butter and we never miss it.)

This was such a great side dish we almost forgot about the chicken. In fact I did! This bread pudding with a side salad made a wonderful lunch. I already can’t wait for tomorrow to have leftovers for lunch.
And don’t forget to save all the bits and any left overs if you have any. Â Just wrap it plastic and pop it in the freezer. It will make a delicious addition to your next batch of breadcrumbs.
