What a great idea to use lychees! My dad would really love that. I had a hard time getting my panna cotta out too and ended up serving it in the bowl rather than wrestling them out. I also like your interpretation of the florentine cookies.
Thanks :) I think if I serve panna cotta to guests that I’ll stick to using bowls or verrines :| Canned lychee definitely saved the day and the juice was perfect to use for the jelly/gelee.

Thanks :) As sweet as they are, florentines are actually quite moreish. Nice job on your panna cotta and florentines too :D

Me too :) They aren’t too hard to make and worth the effort to make some that aren’t uber-sweet and laced heavily with glace cherries and dried fruit!
