Rose Pink Pitaya Panna Cotta
We certainly love our panna cottas. It’s a good thing they are so versatile and so simple to make, they can be easily innovated to completely make your own. A shining example of the simplicity of this Italian classic dessert are these Rose Pink Pitaya Panna Cottas. These little custards don’t seem like much to the eye, but they are brimming with a beautiful fruity flavor of dragon fruit from Suncore Foods® Pink Pitaya Powder. Set them on a pool of rosewater syrup infused with Suncore foods® Rose Petals and a light drizzle on top, and you have a stunning dessert with its minimalistic beauty!

3. To Make the Panna Cotta — Add all the ingredients listed under panna cotta in a pot and mix well and then simmer till it reaches a boil. Leave it to boil for 30 sec more. Agar-agar and sugar must be completely dissolved.
