Making the Panna Cotta
For making the Panna cotta cream is added to milk and sugar and rum are also added to it. All these ingredients are simmered to gather and when the mixture gets thickened after cooling, the gelatin is added to it and is then stirred. Then you should refrigerate the mixture until you prepare the toppings for the dessert.
Simmering the Pomegranate Juice
The Pomegranate juice is simmered in a frying pan and sugar is also dissolved into it while simmering. The juice gets thickened while simmering and gets the shape of syrup with a bright pretty color. Drizzle it over the Panna Cotta and then refrigerate it again.

How to make Panna Cotta
- Take a medium-sized cooking pot and then pour milk into this pot. Once the milk is heated a little, then you should pour cream into this pot.

- After there gets a smooth layer at the top of the mixture, you must bring the special shot glasses. Make sure these are washed and dried. Transfer the cooked and thickened mixture into these glasses.
- Instead of shot glasses, you can also use simple bigger glasses. Put the filled glasses in the oven and then continue refrigerating them for an hour at least.
- Bring a frying pan and put it on the stovetop. In this frying pan, you must pore the Pomegranate juice and start simmering it. Also, add sugar into it and stir this sugar so that it will get dissolved into the simmering juice.
- Lower the heat and when the juice is thickened after proper simmering, turn the heat off and put the pan mixture aside. It will get cooled in a few minutes.
