Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unflavored gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and granulated erythritol. Add a pinch of salt to balance flavors.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and the erythritol is completely dissolved. Do not let it come to a boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Immediately add the bloomed gelatin to the hot liquid and stir continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Divide the mixture evenly among 6 small ramekins or dessert glasses.
Let the panna cotta cool to room temperature, then cover each ramekin with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the panna cotta is set.
To serve, run a thin knife around the edges of each panna cotta and gently invert onto a serving plate, or serve directly in the ramekin.
Optional: garnish with fresh berries or a small mint leaf for added presentation.
