Can anyone resist a delicious dessert? Of course, if the healthy way of life is a priority. Can anyone resist a delicious Keto dessert? Hardly.
Still, the healthy lifestyle is a priority. So, let’s cook Keto Almond Milk Chocolate Panna Cotta, and you will know what a perfect dessert is like.
So, what’s in it? Each mold contains vitamin E, vitamin D, vitamin B-12, calcium, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, potassium, protein, probiotics, and loads of other nutrients.
All ingredients are keto-friendly and delicious. The base includes almond milk, keto sweetener, and heavy cream. You can use other nut milks if you want to.
We recommend using homemade almond milk if you can. It’s easier to make than you think and ensures a fresh flavor without preservatives. If you don’t have any on hand, then buy a brand that does not contain carrageenan or added sugars.
Heavy cream provides a creamy, decadent texture. Don’t have any on hand? Then check out our list of possible substitutes here.
You can use erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit as your keto-approved sweetener. Avoid using artificial sugars as these contribute to gut inflammation.
For your gelatin powder, look for a brand that comes from grass-fed sources. It should not contain antibiotics, hormones, food coloring or dyes, or added sugars.
The chocolate is the best part! Research shows that chocolate contains anti-inflammatory antioxidants that help fight inflammation and certain diseases.
Find a brand of chocolate that is minimally processed to ensure it contains all the heat-sensitive nutrients intake.
You can also serve these in fun molds, depending on the time of year and when you plan to serve them. Try a Halloween mold in October or a snowman mold in January at the holiday party. No matter what kind of mold you use, they won’t last long!
