Low Carb Panna Cotta Made Easy
Panna cotta is an incredibly fancy dessert. A dessert that seems like a pudding and gelatin combined to make an upscale, irresistible treat. Panna cotta recipes themselves may also be a little intimidating. There are multiple steps, cooking, and cooling procedures to follow and a long period of time when you have to wait to see if your efforts worked to create the dessert of your dreams. However, we are here to say that panna cotta is really not too hard and while it may seem fancy, it is a dessert that you will be able to create and enjoy in just a matter of minutes. All you need to do is understand the recipe well, follow the steps, and then grab your spoon to take a bite of this creamy, strawberry mocha version.
The first step to making panna cotta is to grease your ramekins. This will help prevent the panna cotta from sticking to the ramekins as you may decide to flip them out of the container, serving it as a free-standing dessert on a plate. If you do not have half cup sized ramekins, you can opt for larger or smaller cups, just keep in mind that a bigger sized panna cotta will take a longer time to fully cool and set.
The gelatin is then bloomed in the cream which means it is allowed to absorb moisture, making it thick and jiggly. This step is essential as it will prevent the gelatin from clumping when heated and also ensure that your panna cotta has a nice smooth texture. After the gelatin mix has heated, cooling it is another important step. If you add the yogurt to the mix while it is too hot, the milk in the yogurt may cook or curdle. So, once again, to get that smooth panna cotta texture, be sure to let the dish cool at every stage necessary!
Once the panna cotta mix is all together, allow it to set for at least 4 hours in the ramekins. The longer the panna cotta cools, the firmer it will be, making a more stable dessert and giving it the texture you are dreaming of.
Now, you may not automatically think of strawberries as a natural match to pair with the coffee panna cotta but, guess what? It’s amazing! The fresh strawberry sauce served next to the velvety panna cotta is like pure heaven. After just one bite, you will be a true believer in the coffee strawberry combo. You also won’t be able to stop thinking about this unique, low carb dessert. So keep this recipe bookmarked, print it out and save it, do whatever you need to ensure you always have it on hand when that craving for strawberry mocha panna cotta craving hits!
