Keto Panna Cotta
A delicious keto dessert
Ingredients
- 1 cup light cream (25-30% fat) (or heavy cream for a creamier panna cotta)
- 1 Tsp gelatin (3 grams)
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Pod If you can't get a pod use this vanilla extract
- Stevia or preferred sweetener to taste I recommend this
Instructions
- Add the gelatin to two tablespoon of water and set aside for five minutes to allow it to “bloom”
- Pour the cream into a small saucepan and set it on low heat
- Slit the vanilla pod lengthwise down the centre
- Using the tip of the knife, scrape the seeds from the pod and add them to the cream.
- Add the pod to the cream as well (If you’re using vanilla extract, add it to the cream once you take it off the heat). Add in your sweetener of choice and stir till it dissolves.
- Once the cream begins to just simmer, take it off the heat. Discard the vanilla pod, leaving just the seeds inside. Add the gelatin to the cream and mix well until it’s completely dissolved.
- Pour into moulds and leave to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours. (To make coffee panna cotta, add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to each mould and stir it into the hot cream)
- To unmould the panna cotta, dip the moulds briefly in a bowl of hot water, then upend it on a plate. Serve topped with mixed berries.
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I think the recipe meant 1 teaspoon of gelatin because that is what the video stated?
Will fix that now. Thanks for spotting it.
Can you give measurement for sweetener? I typically use a Stevia/Erythritol combination.
Cathy it’s best to give it a taste and add as much as you like. Honestly it seems everyone’s Stevia brand is different and it’s hard for me to give you an exact number. IN fact the brand I use I needed 12 drops and then when they changed their recipe I started to need 4 drops. So that’s the reason I tell everyone keep tasting your food as you go along the recipe.
Can we use powdered form of stevia instead of liquid if yes then olease state the quantity too.
Yes that’s fine. I can’t give you the quantity because I don’t know how sweet your stevia is. You will need to add it to the cream and keep tasting till it’s as sweet as you like.
I use swerve powdered sugar sub and its just about the same as using regular 10x sugar. Also, if you can have just a few more carbs add in whole fat sour cream or plain greek yogurt, use the highest fat content you can find. This will add texture and a much creamier profile. There are quite a few different sweeteners out now and many are 1 to 1 substitutes.
So looking forward to trying these. Is there any way to make a KETO friendly Jell-O. We love jell-o as a dessert but the sugar-free option has bad sweeteners. Looking for a KETO recipe. Any ideas???
Should be doable. Will look into it.
Use konjac powder to your liquid. Look up konjac jellos
Kroger brand sugar free uses a keto-friendly sweetener!
Hey Sahil, due to its simplicity this has become my go to dessert on Keto. I’ve been using Amul whipping cream (30% fat) and the panna cotta turns out super silky. But despite following your proportions precisely and letting it set for 4 hours or more, somehow my panna cotta doesnt set well enough to hold its shape when de-moulded on a plate. What could i be doing wrong and how can i correct it? Will slightly upping the quantity of gelatin help?
Yes it’s possibly the amount of gelatine that needs to be increased to make it hold it’s shape. Maybe it varies from brand to brand.
The recipe doesn’t say when to add the sweetener…..
Thanks for the heads-up Cheryl, just fixed that
Hi Sahil, I use the regular Amul cream. Won’t it split if I simmer it on heat ?
No it might only split if you really boil it.
Wow, I will do it this weekend. Thanks. You guys are awesome!
Can you please do one for crème bulee?
I’d love to try this with coconut milk, can I blend cream and coconut cream together for this? I didn’t really want to use an extract for the flavour. Also wondering if I would need to add more gelatin to this?
Thanks!!
That should work.
Hi, can I use pectin instead of gelatin in this recipe?
Nope, they don’t work the same way. You can use agar agar but you will need to figure out the temperature for that separately as I don’t know that.
What kind of cream are you using? I’m a little confused. The recipe says light cream but I only know half n half or heavy whipping cream. What kind of cream are you using?
Sorry the cream in India is different but it’s basically 25% fat cream. You can use whatever cream is available to you.
