I prefer to unmold because I think it's prettier, but I don't always do
that. I don't serve in wine glasses because I think it's a bit awkward to
spoon a dessert out of a wine glass, but sometimes I serve in the ramekins
with a sauce on top. For my 2008 birthday dinner I made a coffee-cardamom
panna cotta and chilled it in martini glasses with a pistachio gelée on top.
