I’ve come to actually love a Valentines dinner at home. It’s so nice to stay in, put the little ones to bed, and make a dinner together. My husband and I have gone out a few times for Valentine’s Day but it’s the ones that we’ve spent at home that I’ve loved the most. We try to pick new dishes to make, a fun dessert, and just enjoy the evening. This Vanilla Panna Cotta with Strawberry Sauce is the perfect dessert for date nights! This recipe makes 2 (good sized) servings so you can each have your own little treat! You could also do what we do – share one of these and save the other one for the kids the next day. My kids LOVE these!
You can use whatever container you have on hand to serve these in. I had some little stemless wine glasses but any container will be fine. You can get creative! If you don’t have a glass that you like, you can serve it in a shallow bowl or anything you think is cute! If you’ve never had Panna Cotta, it has a custard-like texture but is literally “cooked cream” with an amazing vanilla flavor. The cream is sweet and the strawberry sauce is just a little bit tart and they go perfectly together!
