Master the art of the perfect sugar-free panna cotta. A light, dairy-based Italian dessert using agar-agar.
Ingredients
- 1.75 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 tsp Agar-agar powder: (The plant-based gelling agent). (3g)
- 3 tbsp Erythritol Or your preferred sugar-free sweetener (monk fruit)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract For a deep, aromatic flavor.
Instructions
Combine the Dairy: In a medium saucepan, pour in the heavy cream and the whole milk. While the liquid is still cold, add the agar-agar powder. Whisk thoroughly until the powder is fully incorporated and there are no lumps.
Heat: Turn the heat to medium. It is essential to stir constantly with a whisk as the mixture heats up. Bring it to a gentle boil.
Simmer and Set: Once it begins to boil, continue cooking for approximately 5 minutes. Do not stop whisking and do not increase the heat; the goal is to activate the agar-agar without scorching the dairy on the bottom of the pan.
Sweeten: Remove from the heat and stir in the erythritol. Mix well to ensure it dissolves completely before the mixture begins to thicken.
Flavor and Rest: Add the vanilla extract and give it a final stir. Pour the mixture into a heat-resistant container.
