Ingredients

  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons granular Monk fruit
  • 3 teaspoons gelatin powder
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground coffee (optional but it does enhance the chocolate flavor)
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • Mix gelatin powder with water in a small bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  • Place the rest of the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Break any clumps that might appear.
  • Place the saucepan over the stove in medium heat and add the gelatin powder mixture. Stir regularly until a very slight low boil, then stir continuously for 1 more minute and remove from the stove.
  • Let cool for 30 minutes before pouring it into 6 ounce ramekins or the silicone molds (silicone molds would be easier to transfer).
  • Refrigerate for at least 3+ hours before serving. If using ramekins, place them in a saucepan or skillet with warm water for a couple of minutes (2-3) to make it easier to remove from ramekin. Also you can grease the ramekins with some coconut oil before filling them with the Panna Cotta. If using silicone molds, removing them is super easy, you just need to gently press the bottom of each mould and the Panna Cotta will come out completely. If using ramekins, gently press a knife around the edges to remove.
  • Top them with shredded chocolate, whipped cream or berries.

Notes

  • This Panna Cotta can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Wrap with plastic wrap to make sure it doesn't harden.
  • This recipe is freezer-friendly. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in airtight container in the freezer.  Leave it overnight in the fridge to thaw thoroughly before consuming.
