Chocolate Panna Cotta: 10-Minute Recipe (Serve Molded OR Straight from the Glass)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

vanilla bean

🥗Healthier: vanilla extract

💰Cheaper: vanilla essence

Vanilla extract is easier to find and less expensive.

fruit puree

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Fresh fruit provides natural sweetness and flavor.

Heat heavy cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in gelatin until fully dissolved.

Add vanilla bean seeds and pod to the mixture, stirring well.

Let the mixture cool slightly for 10 minutes.

Strain the mixture into molds to remove the vanilla pod.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

To serve, dip the molds in warm water for a few seconds to loosen the panna cotta.

Invert onto plates and garnish with fruit puree and fresh berries.
