This panna cotta makes such a beautiful finish to a meal – its silky smooth, a little bit rich and a little bit tart. It's glamorous enough to serve at a dinner party, yet simple enough to make for a family meal. You could leave out the jelly if you're short on time, but I wouldn't! Start this the day before you intend to serve it. You'll need to set the panna cotta overnight before adding the jelly.
