Goat Cheese Panna Cotta with Cranberry Port Topping –  the perfect make-ahead Holiday Dessert

I mean, there are people out there who don’t crave sugar after a rich, fatty Thanksgiving or Christmas feast. People who would take a hunk of cheese over a cup of chocolate mousse any time. Not me.  

Goat Cheese adds tang and richness to this classic Italian Dessert 

I DO love cheese – but for me eating cheese after a meal makes me hungry again. It’s like returning to the appetizer and starting the feasting-cycle all over again.

This is why this Goat Cheese Panna Cotta is the perfect dessert for everyone! It is not too sweet and therefore 100 % husband approved – but sweet and dessert enough to satisfy post-meal sugar cravings.

The glaze makes more than you need - you might only want to cook half the amount. However, leftovers can be stored up to 2 weeks in the fridge and taste awesome with some vanilla ice cream) :-
