I'm really looking forward to celebrating Heritage Day this week. Such a significant day - and who doesn't love a cheeky day off in the middle of the week! The thing I love most about Heritage Day is how it celebrates diversity AND unity. What a beautiful thing!

I'm such a tea lover. I drink rooibos every day. Multiple times a day. I absolutely love it and it is one of my favourite flavours to combine into creamy deserts. I think they make a frikkin great team! And this layered Rooibos & Vanilla Panna Cotta is my proof.

A day celebrating South African culture and my heritage is incomplete without Rooibos. It is a flavour that I grew up with and has been a part of my daily life nearly all my life.
So although I know I will definitely be drinking some Rooibos tea this Heritage Day, I thought it would be fun to create a dessert with its delicious flavour too. And oh boy, was I not disappointed! These Rooibos & Vanilla Panna Cottas are beyond delish and are quick and easy enough to whip up midweek.
