Almond pasticcini maybe? Link to that page on their website
No, we already polished off the two pasticcini we got 
Weird that they don’t show up on the website. They remind me of shortcake, which is why they’re all for my PIC.

This woman is very talented. Unfortunately, it’s pickup only. It’s worth the 40 mile round trip for me!

Looks good. Gave me a flashback to the old ad: “How do you get the caramel into the Caramilk bar?”
Is this a two-stage process?

The apple cider is reduced with a little sugar until a syrup consistency. I also boil down cider until very thick and syrupy without sugar that I use for various pie/tart applications. Both the caramel and boiled syrup have a slight bitter edge.
The Panna cotta is just buttermilk, a little milk, gelatin and sugar.
After the Panna cotta is well set, I float a couple of tablespoons of the cider caramel over the top.
Panna Cotta redux, I might like this even better than the apple cider caramel. Unsweetened, very tart cranberry juice was used for the topping. This was really tart; to please most palates, I think equal parts of sugar and juice would be a starting point. I just eyeballed a small amount and I probably had twice the amount of juice to sugar. This thickens upon standing, so you need to stop the cooking a bit in advance.
It would make a lovely holiday dessert!

Pear hazelnut cake, a filling of pears and chopped hazelnuts sautéed in butter with a little Pear William. Demerara sugar and halved hazelnuts on top, and to gild the lily, a drizzle of caramel sauce.

In that case I would have one for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner, as main courses
