Before serving, run the tip of a knife along the edges of the mold to detach the panna cotta. Then dip the mold in hot water for a few seconds, remove it, cover with a soup plate, and flip the panna cotta onto it. Carefully remove the mold to avoid damaging the dessert. Pour the prepared orange syrup onto the plate. Scatter fresh washed berries and fruit pieces to taste on the plate in a random order. Finish the composition with a tiny scoop of ice cream and crushed fresh mint if desired.
