Chocolate brownies

Brownies

A brownie is a squarish, flat cake dessert. It is a mixture of cake and cookies and comes in different shapes and sizes, mostly in a square shape. 

They usually have a heavy texture, and might include nuts, chocolate fudge, or chocolate chips. Brownies are meant to be eaten by hand, and accompanied with a warm drink, normally tea, coffee, or warm milk.
They are found only in coffee shops (cafes) and restaurants. In restaurants, they are always served as desserts.

Pana cotta

Pana cotta

Pana Cotta is an Italian dessert of sweetened cream thickened with gelatin and molded. They come in many flavourings (rum, coffee, vanilla, etc.) 

Italian Chefs make pana cotta by dissolving sugar in warm cream. They flavour the cream by infusing spices into the cream. They soften the gelatin into cold liquid, then pour the mixture into molds.

Pana cotta is often served with fruits (like strawberries and blueberries) to add more flavour to it.
