The almond Bakewell panna cotta starts with a layer of crumbled amaretti cookies spread over the bottom of the dish before being topped with an indulgent custard made from cream, sugar, eggs, and ground almonds.
The custard is then covered in a thin layer of sponge cake which gives it an extra crunchy texture. As if that wasn’t enough sweetness already, this dessert is finished off with a smooth glaze made from raspberry jam and icing sugar.
This creamy confection is perfect for any occasion whether you are entertaining guests or simply wanting to indulge yourself after dinner. Not only does it look beautiful but its richness will leave you feeling satisfied without overwhelming your senses; plus its lightness makes it easy to eat multiple servings!

After chilling in your refrigerator for at least 2 hours top off each serving with sponge cake before finishing them off with raspberry jam glaze on top – et voilà!
You can decorate further by adding fresh fruits or edible flowers on top too if desired.
