White Chocolate and Pistachio Panna Cottas

Submitted by Ppaperdoll

"From April 2006 'Delicious' magazine, UK. A good dinner party dessert. You can either serve these turned out on a plate, or alternatively, serve them inside a glass or cup. I serve mine set inside teacups. Use a good quality white chocolate for best results."
