What Is Panna Cotta Made Of?

If you're unfamiliar with what panna cotta is, it's a cold Italian custard--smooth, creamy, and utterly delicious. It's essentially a pudding consisting of sweetened cream that is thickened with gelatin.

However, this Keto Coconut Panna Cotta recipe is much healthier and keto-friendly in comparison with your usual panna cotta. My recipe opts to use coconut milk as opposed to cream, resulting in a delicious dessert dish that is completely dairy-free and vegetarian-friendly. I used Truvia to sweeten it, so it's low carb as well.

How to Make a Great Panna Cotta

• Well dissolved gelatin.
  • The biggest factor here is to ensure that the gelatin is extremely well dissolved. What you don't want, are gelatin granules, and chewy gelatin bits left in there. I find heating the water definitely helps, but so does active stirring. Whisk the mixture well to ensure all the gelatin is well incorporated.
• No acidic fruits
  • You can add a few different fruits, but don't add fresh pineapple, as the bromelain in pineapple interferes with the gelatin setting. Canned pineapple is usually okay.
• Full-fat liquid
  • This is really not the time to be using low-fat milk. The thicker the liquid, the better the panna cotta sets. A key tip to making panna cotta is to use a thick liquid and well-dissolved gelatin.
  • If you want a change, use heavy whipping cream instead of coconut milk. If you use a low-fat liquid, you may need to increase the gelatin.
• Spray the molds well
  • This is so that you can pop out the panna cotta in one piece, making it look super elegant. I mean, either that or do what I do. Eat it directly from the container you set it in! One less dish to wash. What could possibly be wrong with that?
  • What if after all this, your panna cotta doesn't set? The thing about panna cotta though, is that it's easy to fix. Just dissolve a little extra gelatin in water, mix it with your first batch, heating gently to ensure it is all well-mixed, and re-set it again.

 

So there's no reason to be afraid of making this Panna Cotta recipe. These easy tips will ensure your keto coconut panna cotta sets beautifully each time.

Why Did My Panna Cotta Not Set?

There are two reasons this Panna Cotta recipe might not set correctly. Here are some things to consider:

1. Your gelatin didn't dissolve completely.
2. The gelatin got too hot.

How Long Will Panna Cotta Last in the Fridge?

Panna Cotta should keep for about 2-3 days as long as it is stored in a glass or plastic food storage container or covered with plastic wrap.

Can Panna Cotta Be Made in Advance?

Of course! Since this Panna Cotta recipe has to be refrigerated for at least 4 to 6 hours before serving, it's the perfect make ahead dessert. You could even make it a couple of days in advance for the next time you have friends for family over.
