Trader Joe's is bolstering its refrigerated dessert selection with the addition of its new Coffee Panna Cotta product.
If you're unfamiliar with the treat, panna cotta is an Italian dessert made from sweetened cream thickened with gelatin and molded into a round shape. Trader Je's new Coffee Panna Cotta is made for the grocery store brand by a Portuguese company based out of Texas that combines cream, milk, and sugar with a generous portion of coffee powder to achieve an intense coffee flavor. The result is a delicate dessert with a creamy texture (similar to flan) and a distinctive coffee flavor.
The new Coffee Panna Cotta product can be found in Trader Joe's refrigerated section, but only for a limited time.
