Sugar-Free Vanilla Panna Cotta Recipe
(Serves 4)
This creamy, indulgent, and sugar-free vanilla panna cotta is a perfect keto-friendly dessert. It’s silky smooth, easy to make, and only requires a few ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk alternative)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tbsp gelatin powder (unflavored)
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Gelatin:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom and absorb the water.
2. Heat the Cream and Almond Milk:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream, almond milk, and powdered erythritol. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm (but not boiling). This should take about 3-5 minutes.
3. Dissolve the Gelatin:
- Once the cream mixture is warm, add the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
4. Pour into Molds:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture into 4 small ramekins or serving glasses. Be sure to leave a little space at the top for easy serving.
5. Chill the Panna Cotta:
- Let the panna cotta cool to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. Once cooled, cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until set. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
6. Serve:
- Once the panna cotta is fully set, remove it from the fridge and serve chilled. You can top it with a few fresh berries or a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder for added flavor, though it’s delicious on its own as well!
