Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 60 grams Vanilla flavored protein powder
- 250 ml Milk of choice
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
In a saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, and honey. Heat over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin, ensuring it dissolves completely.
Whisk in the vanilla flavored protein powder and vanilla extract until smooth.
Divide the mixture evenly into 4 serving glasses or ramekins. Allow them to cool slightly before refrigerating.
Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours, or until set.
To make the berry sauce, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and berries release their juice, about 5 minutes.
Remove the berry sauce from heat and let it cool. Optionally, you can blend it for a smooth sauce or leave it chunky.
Once the panna cotta is set, top each serving with berry sauce before serving.
