It is hard to steer away from sweets and desserts overnight once you decided to go with the Keto way of eating.
Our brain is still asking for sugar indulgence, and we want to have something which can turn to without compromising on taste and something we eat without regrets.
Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert which is made with dairy products. It is rich and creamy with a custard-like texture.
There are a few different versions of dairy product combinations that could be used to make it, but we only need what is Keto friendly. So the version below is using the following ingredients:
Let’s Ketofy It!
Pour the heavy cream, sweetener, and water in a saucepan and mix them well. Let the mixture heat but avoid boiling it. Immediately turn the heat off once the sweetener is dissolved completely and you see bubbles in the surface. Mix in any flavor you like. In my case, I added vanilla.
Prepare the gelatin according to the instructions found on the packet.
When the gelatin is ready, incorporate this into the heavy cream mixture. While mixing the gelatin, keep stirring so it doesn’t form lumps.
Continue stirring as you add the sour cream into the bowl. You can also do it the other way around. Instead of pouring the sour cream into the mixture, you can pour the mixture into the sour cream in small amounts through a sieve then stir everything after every batch. Repeat until all the heavy cream is combined with the sour cream.
Distribute the mixture evenly in all the forms you prepared.
Let them chill in the fridge until they are completely set. The longer, the better. This can take up to hours.
Just be patient until the panna cotta mixture is ready to be served.
For a better presentation and flavor, top the panna cotta with berry’s jello and some slices of strawberries. The instruction for the jello preparation is found below.
