Truthfully, I had originally wanted to make a pumpkin soup, but the weather around here hadn’t quite gotten to “soup weather” territory until very recently. While I was prepping this post it was more on the “ice cream weather” side of the thermometer, but since I’ve put out so many ice creams lately, I thought I’d go with the other most common cold dessert in our house – panna cotta.
Turns out, this Pumpkin Panna Cotta is like a creamy, crustless pumpkin pie in a bowl. So good, and so easy, too!
