More About This Recipe

  • Pop-up restaurants are a big trend right now in Boston. If you’re not familiar, a restaurant basically appears out of nowhere, serves dinner for a day, week, month, or whatever allotted time it chooses, then disappears back to nothingness. It’s something different and a lot of fun, and I try and get tickets whenever I can! One I recently attended was college-themed. This meant things like wild mushroom “hot pockets” and the most fabulously upscale seafood ramen imaginable were on the menu for the night. The thing that caught my eye the most, however, was the dessert – a cereal panna cotta that came in two layers and was any college kid’s dream. The second I tasted it I couldn't wait to recreate it and share the recipe with you! The kid in you will love this grown up dessert!
