Panna Cotta, a popular Italian dessert with origins from the Piedmont region, literally translates to “cooked cream”. But being that New Mexico is one of the three states that grow pistachios in the country, I thought it would be fun to combine my love of both in this pistachio panna cotta.

New Mexican Sipping Chocolate
Indulge in a cup of our Southwestern Sipping Hot Chocolate, inspired by the rich history of this ancient beverage. Chocolate, derived from the cacao bean, holds a storied past, cherished by ancient civilizations like the Mayans and Aztecs who believed it possessed mystical and energizing properties. We pay homage to this tradition by infusing our hot chocolate with a simple combination of chiles and cinnamon with a touch of southwestern flavors.
