How to Make Keto Panna Cotta
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (1 envelope)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk of choice (e.g., unsweetened coconut milk)
- 1/3 cup allulose (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
Prepare Gelatin: Lightly grease eight 1/2-cup or four 1-cup ramekins and set them aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the gelatin and cold water. Let it sit to thicken.
Heat Cream Mixture: In a saucepan, add the heavy cream, milk, allulose, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly, until it begins to boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and simmer for a few minutes.
Combine with Gelatin: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the thickened gelatin mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Distribute: Pour the panna cotta mixture into the prepared ramekins and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
Serve: To serve, run a slightly wet knife around the edges of the ramekins for easy removal. Turn each ramekin upside down onto a plate and enjoy your keto panna cotta! Tip: Garnish with fresh berries or a sugar-free syrup for extra flavor!
How to Serve Keto Panna Cotta
Keto Panna Cotta is best served chilled. You can turn them out onto dessert plates and add toppings like fresh berries, a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup for extra flavor. This dessert is great for impressing guests or treating yourself!
How to Store Keto Panna Cotta
Store any leftover Keto Panna Cotta in the refrigerator. Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap or transfer the panna cotta to an airtight container. It will keep well for up to one week. Make sure not to add your toppings until you’re ready to serve, to keep them fresh.

FAQs
