Panna cotta classic recipe
Description
The finished dessert has a silky texture thanks to the cream, but if you want to reduce calories, replace one-third of the cream with milk or 10% cream. If you cannot have milk for any reason, substitute it with coconut cream or coconut milk. It's best to use a natural vanilla pod, but if unavailable, replace it only with natural vanilla extract. Avoid vanilla essence, as its strong aroma can spoil the dessert. Instead of regular sugar, you can use cane sugar, honey, or plant-based syrup. Serve panna cotta with fresh berries, chocolate, or berry and fruit sauces.
