Meyer lemon--a lemon/orange hybrid--is sweeter than conventional lemon. If you don't have access to Meyer lemons, you can use a regular lemon and enjoy a dessert that's a bit more tart.
It would help if you told us what you did, then we might be able to see where it went wrong.
prefer this scaled down panna cotta to the regular heavy cream variety. buttermilk and lemon made it refreshing and tangy. good taste, a little grainy, maybe i made the milk a little too hot.
Thought this was delicious, but did make a couple of edits, specifically substituting Kefir for buttermilk, using a regular lemon, and adding about 2T lemon juice to the recipe amount. The result was refreshing and tart, not too sweet, the perfect foil for fresh berries.
I have made this twice and both times it curdled?? What did I do wrong?
Delicious, light and refreshing and not too sweet. I used Splenda instead of sugar and fat free half and half.
I found this recipe refreshing because it's light and not too sweet. Also easy to make. I served it with fresh berries on the side that were lightly crushed with a bit of sugar.
Rather bland and needs just a tiny bit more sugar, perhaps one or two tablespoons. I didn't like the buttermilk flavor in this. Maybe Greek yogurt would work in its place. I'll try the recipe once more with more sugar, low fat milk in place of the 1/2 & 1/2 and more Meyer lemon peel to steep in the milk to increase the lemon essence.
