Panna Cotta with Cranberry Orange Sauce

By: 👩‍🦳 Linda · Published: 🖨 December 28, 2011 · Updated: 💻October 3, 2017 · 🗨 21 Comments

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Can’t believe it came and went so quickly. We had a very good one and are still enjoying the extended holiday season as Ro-Ri San and the boys only go back to work next week, after the New Year. It is great to spend time with the family and to meet up with old friends.

We had a cozy and intimate Christmas Eve dinner for the family and only had friends over the day after Christmas. That worked out really well as it gave us a chance to enjoy Christmas morning opening presents over a leisurely breakfast. We even had time to do some ice skating at Centennial Lakes Park. The preparation for the gathering came in the afternoon. I made this panna cotta for dessert. The slightly tart cranberry orange sauce complemented well with the silky and creamy panna cotta.


This elegant dessert was a breeze to prepare and was done in under 20 minutes. I used dessert glasses this time so that I did not have to deal with unmolding the panna cotta when the guests were here. For a festive touch, I made a red sauce using some frozen cranberries, freshly squeezed orange juice, and sugar.

Here are some pictures of the festivities over at our house…

It’s a blue and gold Christmas tree this year.


One of the most enjoyable thing to do when hosting a gathering is setting the table. It is fun to match the dishes, silverware, glasses, linen, and centerpiece for the occasion.


We had rib roast and twice baked potatoes for our Christmas Eve Dinner. The rib roast was very juicy and tender and it came out perfect after almost 5 hours. Please check this post on how it is prepared. For the gathering on Boxing Day, I decided to prepare an Asian buffet instead.

Boxing Day is the day after Christmas (December 26th). It is a British term used in Malaysia and the rest of the English speaking world except the US. I instinctively use the term even now. 🙂


For dessert, we had panna cotta and the Gingerbread Nativity. Everyone was a little sad to see it being eaten but enjoyed it nevertheless, as it was really tasty. This is what’s left after the gathering.


Of course, there is that Rich Fruit Cake…a must have every year!


Enjoy…..and have a wonderful day! 8)

    What a festive looking dessert and it was a great idea to place them directly into dessert glass. It’s so much easier!

      Yes, I did prepare all the food. Some like the potato croquettes were made the day before and I just had to pop them into the oven the next day.

      I am afraid I am not able to tell you where the glasses were purchased as they were a gift. However, there are many other lovely dessert glasses out there that would work just as well. 🙂

    What a fantastic idea to pour a little cranberry sauce on top of panna cotta! My husband loves to make panna cotta so I know he’s going to want to make this! Of course he also love a cranberry orange sauce so it’s perfect! Can’t wait for him to make it! 🙂
