Tips

Experiment with alternative ingredients to create a unique twist on this dessert masterpiece. Try using almond or coconut milk instead of regular milk to make a vegan version of the panna cotta. Replace lavender with rosewater or orange blossom water for a different floral flavor. Substitute the lemon curd with passionfruit or mango curd for a tropical twist. If blueberries and raspberries are out of season, use diced strawberries or blackberries instead. Lastly, consider using edible silver or colored sugar sprinkles instead of gold dust for a different type of glamour.
