Hello my lovelies ! How are your New Year goals coming along?
For me , making better food choices have always been on the top of the list.
Being the head of nutrition of my family I constantly try to develop recipes that are healthy and delicious at the same time.
We have a bit of a sweet tooth. On our constant efforts to eat well doesn’t mean that we have to give up our cravings. I am not telling you to settle for a fruit when you crave something sweet.. Duh!!! Rather just try to swap the “ not so good ingredients for you “ for the “ better ones” in a recipe.
This is exactly what I have done here.
Traditional Panna Cotta is made with heavy cream and sugar. If you wish to make it Vegan , Dairy free and Skinny with few calories then you will surly fall in love with this recipe. I won’t be surprised if you swap this dessert for your morning coffee. Seriously guys it is good stuff!
Choosing the right ingredients is as important as choosing the right recipe .
To meet our clean eating goals I am leaning more towards products that are Organic, made with simple and clean ingredients and that are environmental friendly.
For this recipe I have swapped the heavy cream with So Delicious Organic Almondmilk with Cashews and Organic Coconut milk .
Have you tried it yet?
As the name goes So Delicious Organic Almondmilk with Cashews is indeed delicious and simply made with 7 ingredients or fewer with all the flavor .
It is Organic, Non-GMO, Soy-free, Dairy-free and Gluten-free. Moreover it is less than 50 calories per serving. What more could you want?
I have been a fan of the Original So Delicious Almondmilk for my morning coffee. It tastes so good with a dash of cinnamon. So thought why not turn it into a dessert as well.
I love the vanilla flavor for making delicious smoothies and parfaits whereas prefer the unsweetened ones for making desserts or savory recipes like adding to my curries or pasta.
Coming back to this guilt free recipe . The combination of Almond milk with Cashews and coconut milk creates a good balance of creamy yet light tasting Panna Cotta. Feel free to double up the recipe as there will be demands for second helping.
The berry compote adds a refreshing touch as well as adds fiber to your dessert .

OMG This looks so delicious! As a coffee lover, I must have a try these days
Sam
I don’t think I dissolved the agar agar completely on my first attempt. When I tried again, I made sure it had all dissolved and then simmered for about ten minutes before cooling.
Unfortunately, I also found out a family member is allergic to agar agar. She’s vegan so I can’t use gelatin. Is there another substitute for agar agar that is also vegan?
Khushboo
Hey Sam you can try experimenting with cornstarch . It’s great to set up desserts too.
Sam
This is a wonderful recipe. I’ve never worked with agar before so my first batch didn’t set quite right. The flavor was great so I tried again. Perfect! I made the recipe for a family gathering plus a little variation of amaretto/almond flavors, big hit! Tjere were none left because everyone was taking some to go! Thank you!
Khushboo
I am glad that you liked this recipe Sam. May I know why did the panna cotta not set in first attempt. And what different did you do to set it in the second attempt.
