Pannacotta has to be one of the easiest yet impressive desserts to make, and this one is made extra creamy and velvety with Meredith Dairy Sheep Milk Yogurt, with a deep vanilla flavour from vanilla beans. Top with some strawberries lightly roasted with honey for a perfect Easter treat.

Preparation
Step 1
Soak gelatin leaves in cold water for at least 5 minutes.

Split vanilla bean in half and scrape off the seeds. Save the bean as well.

Remove the pannacottas from the ramekins by running a hot knife between the ramekin and pannacotta, and shake a bit to loosen it.
