Ingredients

Panna Cotta

  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin .25 ounce
  • 3 Tablespoons Almond milk unsweetened
  • cup Almond milk unsweetened
  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • cup Yogurt plain or Greek
  • ½ cup Confectioner's sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Strawberry Sauce

  • 2 cups Strawberries chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • ¼ cup Granulated sugar
  • Whole strawberries, whipped cream, slivered almonds, mint leaves Optional garnishes

Instructions

Panna Cotta

  • Begin by sprinkling the gelatin over the 3 Tablespoons of almond milk in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium size saucepan, over medium/medium-high heat, heat the heavy cream, yogurt, ⅓ cup almond milk, confectioner's sugar, and salt until the mixture is bubbling around the edges, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Be sure to stir as it is heating so that the sugar dissolves and the cream doesn't scald.
  • Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and the gelatin/almond milk mixture to the pan and stir to combine. Pour into 8(4.8ounce)glasses.
  • Place in the refrigerator and cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until the top is firm enough to hold the strawberries.

Strawberry Sauce

  • Mix the strawberries with the cornstarch and sugar in a medium-size saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, occasionally mashing with a potato masher or fork, until the strawberries soften and the juices thicken. Stir frequently. Let slightly cool.
  • Place the strawberry mixture on top of the cooled panna cottas. Place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until completely cooled.
  • Top each with a whole strawberry, whipped cream, slivered almonds or mint leaves for garnish (optional).
  • Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
