Panna cotta, or “cooked cream,” is a simple Italian dessert of sweetened cream that’s set to a delicate wobble. Here, Chef Akhtar gives it a gentle lift, adding labneh for tang and vanilla bean for warmth. Beneath it lies a layer of cinnamon-laced peach preserves, slow-simmered until jammy. After an overnight chill, it sets just enough to hold its shape while staying soft enough to shimmy on the spoon.
