Cherry-Topped Almond Panna CottaPatricia Heal

Panna cotta is an Italian custard dessert. It's similar to pudding but is thickened with gelatin instead of egg yolks. This version is a velvety almond custard topped with fresh cherries and a candied almond garnish.

Equipment tip:

A cherry pitter makes prepping the cherries a breeze. We like the Oxo cherry pitter ($13, oxo.com). Don’t want to buy another gadget? You can also push the pit out with a chopstick.
