Panna Cotta Recipe Easy, Low Carb, Grain Gluten Sugar-Free, THM S, Keto
Panna cotta used to be the dessert I would order anytime I saw it on a restaurant menu. I prefer it’s cool creaminess to creme brulee (I don’t love that burned sugar crust), cakes, ice creams, and almost all the rest.
Panna Cotta for the first time
I don’t remember the first time I tried it but I think it was when I was in college and my best friend and I went to the ChikaLicious Dessert Bar in New York City. It was a splurge, $15 just for dessert, but it came in three courses and I couldn’t resist trying it. A dessert app, dessert main dish, and dessert dessert? I was there. And it was amazing.
My Raspberry Panna Cotta is inspired by this recipe by David Leibovitz which was the first panna cotta I ever made at home.
Keto Panna Cotta
This is the ideal keto dessert because the base of it is heavy cream. It is like eating the best fat bomb you will ever try!
How to bloom gelatin:
Blooming gelatin can be tricky. There is nothing worse than biting into a rubbery chunk when enjoying a delicate dessert. Here are my steps to blooming gelatin.
- Sprinkle gelatin over cold water.
- Let sit for five minutes.
- Add boiling water and stir until the gelatin dissolves.
- To be safe you can strain it through a mesh sieve.
Real raspberry Puree
This is really the key ingredient for my raspberry panna cotta. But you can also sub in other fruit purees instead!
Any berry will work. Just puree and strain out the seeds.
