Layered Cherry Panna cotta with Del Monte Red Cherries

 
Panna cotta's are very new in my life. When i came across this, i wondered why i didn try it for these many days. Because i am fan of puddings. It can be made with whole lot of stuffs, you can add anything in it starting from chocolates to any fruit juices. I have a  plan to make a chocolate panna cotta too..Will post as soon as i am done with it.

Yesterday when i was organising my pantry shelf, i found a can of Del Monte's Red Cherries. I thought of make a panna cotta using that, but i want something lighter to go with that, so i made a vanilla based pudding and poured it over the cherry pudding. And as a surprise it both went so well together..


Del Monte Cherries are great for this, because of the lovely colour it provides to the pudding. This cherries has its own flavour and taste to it...
