Let the Mukhwas Jelly mixture cool down for 15 to 20 minutes.
Pour about 3 to 4 tablespoons of cooled mukhwas jelly liquid on top of the already set gulkand panna cotta.
Keep it back in the fridge to set for another 3 to 4 hours.
Serve the Gulkand Panna Cotta chilled and enjoy the magic the flavors play in your mouth.
Notes
Do not boil the Heavy cream and milk, just heat it enough to dissolve the sugar.
If you don't find gulkand in the store then check for it on amazon.
Do not pour a hot Mukhwas Jelly on to of the set passion fruit panna cotta. This will melt the top layer and mess up with the clean elegant look.
If your gulkand has too much fennel the skim the fennel floating on top before pouring it into the glass to set.
