Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 Β½ teaspoons (about 7 grams) gelatin powder
  • ΒΌ cup (60 ml) cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons granulated erythritol
  • 1 Β½ cups (about 225 grams) fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: fresh berries (blueberries or blackberries) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle 2 Β½ teaspoons of gelatin over ΒΌ cup (60 ml) cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until spongy.
  2. Warm the cream mixture: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk, and 3 tablespoons erythritol. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweetener dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Add vanilla and gelatin: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then add the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely dissolved (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Pour into molds: Evenly pour the mixture into 6 small glasses or ramekins. Let cool to room temperature (about 15 minutes), then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  5. Make the sugar-free raspberry sauce: While panna cotta chills, combine 1 Β½ cups raspberries and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, smashing berries occasionally.
  6. Strain the sauce: Pour the cooked raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, pressing gently. Let the sauce cool completely.
  7. Serve: Once panna cotta is set, spoon the chilled raspberry sauce on top. Garnish with fresh berries if desired and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Bloom gelatin properly in cold water to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth texture. Warm the cream mixture gently without boiling to preserve gelatin’s setting ability. Strain raspberry sauce for a silky finish. Chill panna cotta at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. For a firmer set, add an extra Β½ teaspoon gelatin but avoid overdoing it to maintain a delicate wobble.
