Instructions:
To make the Panna cotta:
- Pour 75 ml/3 fl oz. /5 tbsps. almost-boiling water into a heatproof bowl, then add the powdered gelatin.

To make the strawberry sauce:

- Either serve with whole strawberries or blend to form a smooth sauce. If liked, rub through a fine sieve to remove any pips.
- Serve with the set Panna
