Notes

Panna cotta is a great make-ahead dessert! You can prepare this panna cotta in advance and add the toppings when ready to serve. A panna cotta can be made up to three days ahead and then kept in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Panna cotta can be stored in the fridge for up to five days, but for the best flavor, serving it within three days is best.
