4 star :: Lovely textures and flavors and did I mention KETO?
Lovely textures and flavors. Looks just as pictured when I made it. I would add an additional 2 Tb cacao powder and not cook the praline as long. Also 1/3+ cup hazelnuts will work just as well. Notes…
Panna Cotta 1 cup unsweetened nut milk (or hemp milk) 2 teaspoon grassfed gelatin (or 1 envelope Knox gelatin) 1 cup organic whipping cream (coconut cream or half and half works too) ⅓ cup Swerve Confectioners (sub 1 tsp stevia and 1/2 tsp monk fruit powder) 2 tbsp Perfect Keto Hazelnut Creamer (optional) 2 tablespoon cacao powder (I would up to 4 Tb)
Hazelnut Praline ¼ cup Swerve Granular 1 teaspoon water (1 Tb works too) ¼ cup+ roasted hazelnuts coarsely chopped
Instructions Panna Cotta Grease 4 (four) 4-ounce capacity ramekins. Alternatively, you can simply pour the panna cotta mixture into dessert glasses and serve directly from those. Place the nut milk in medium saucepan and sprinkle the surface with the gelatin. Let bloom 5 minutes. Cook, whisking frequently, until the gelatin dissolves and little bubbles appear around the edges of the pan. Do not bring to a full simmer. Turn the heat to medium low and whisk in the cream.
Remove from heat and whisk in the sweetener, hazelnut creamer, and cocoa powder until well combined.
Divide the mixture between the prepared ramekins and refrigerate 3 hours, until set.
To unmold: Set the ramekins in a bowl of hot water (don't let the water come over the top) for about 10 to 15 seconds. Place a plate overtop the ramekin and flip over, then give it a few good shakes to loosen. Top with lightly sweetened whipped cream and hazelnut praline, if desired.
Hazelnut Praline Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the sweetener and water in a small heavy duty saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan a few times as the sweetener is beginning to melt. Cook 3 to 5 minutes (I recommend 2-3 min or lower temp) without stirring, until a golden amber. The mixture may smoke a little, this is normal. Remove from heat and stir in the hazelnuts.
Pour the mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheet and spread the nuts into a single layer. Let cool until hardened and you can break it into pieces with your fingers.
This Keto Chocolate Panna Cotta is where it’s at! Smooth, rich, and creamy- and that keto hazelnut praline provides the perfect crunch.
