Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 packet (about 2 and 1/4 teaspoons) Powdered gelatin
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.33 cup Sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and sugar substitute. Stir the mixture gently and bring it just to a simmer, ensuring it does not boil.
Once the cream mixture is hot, remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream mixture and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved and well incorporated.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl with a spout for easy pouring. This step is optional but helps to ensure a smooth texture by removing any undissolved gelatin.
Carefully pour the strained mixture into six small serving ramekins or cups.
Allow the panna cotta to cool slightly, then cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the panna cotta is set and firm.
To serve, gently run a thin knife around the edge of each panna cotta and invert them onto serving plates, or serve directly from the ramekins.
Garnish with fresh berries or a light fruit coulis if desired, and enjoy your sugar-free classic vanilla panna cotta!
