For a richer flavor, use vanilla bean paste instead of orange liqueur.
If you don’t have orange liqueur, you can substitute with a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a splash of Limoncello.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer your dessert.
To easily unmold the panna cottas, dip the bottom of each ramekin briefly in warm water before inverting onto a plate.
