Panna Cotta with Lemon-Thyme Peaches image

Though we can appreciate the beauty of a panna cotta that's been turned out of its mold, the light-as-air texture of these, just set enough to melt in the mouth, will have you happy to eat them right from the cup. Yogurt gives the almond-infused cream a little tang, and peaches that have been macerated with lemon thyme just long enough to meld and soften seem to exist expressly for this dessert.

For panna cotta:
1 1/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-ounce envelope)

This panna cotta was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still a delicious dessert. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

The panna cotta was easy to make, but it didn't set properly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found the panna cotta to be a bit bland. I think it needed more lemon or thyme to give it more flavor.

The panna cotta was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The peaches helped to balance out the tartness.
