Panna Cotta literally translates as "cooked cream" in Italian. These softly set and creamy Italian puddings are so silky-smooth they slip down beautifully at the end of a meal. Perfect served with fresh berries or fruits according to the season. They are also perfect for dinner parties because they can be made a day or two in advance and kept refrigerated until ready to be served.

have you tried adding more Gelotine?
most recipes suggest the amount by leaf, but depending on the brand you use they can be smaller or larger
try leaving in the fridge for 24hours as appose to the 2-3 most recipes suggest
hope that helps
