I made Panna Cotta, the typical Italian dessert, before. So the February challenge of Daring Bakers was quite easy for me. The Florentine cookies, which by the way I know only with nuts and candied fruits, were a bit of a challenge. Like some other Daring Bakers I ended up with huge cookies. Fortunately still delicious!
For the Panna Cotta I used a ginger flavored white chocolate I recently received for a secret chocolate test. Very yummy! Instead of filling the cookies with chocolate I sprinkled some over the white Panna Cotta, so at least it visible on the white plate. ;-)
For the recipe please head over to the Daring Kitchen Headquarter. There you will also find all the Panna Cotta and Florentine Cookies my fellow Daring Bakers made.
The February 2011 Daring Bakers challenge was hosted by Mallory from A Sofa in the Kitchen. She chose to challenge everyone to make Panna Cotta from a Giada De Laurentiis recipe and Nestle Florentine Cookies.

Great flavors and wonderfully presented! You did a great job.

Wow, eine solche Panna Cotta habe ich noch nie ausprobiert! Die Geschmackskombi weisse Schokolade-Ingwer würde sich auch als Mousse toll machen. Danke für die Inspiration!

Ich habe nur 1/3 des Rezeptes gemacht und alle auf einem Blech gebacken, was keine gute Idee war. Sind nämlich alle ziemlich zerlaufen und aneinandergepappt. Lecker sind sie zum Glück trotzdem.
It sounds delicious the panna cotta looks wonderful and with the Florentines a great treat I bet. Thank you for the lovely comments you left on my blog. Excellent photo as well.
