TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE: I have a few friends that recently had to stop eating both dairy stuff... AHAHAHAH... losers!
Actually, i should stop to. How do i know it? The diarrhea festival my colon has after drinking cappuccinos suggests that quite clearly. This means i should not eat ice creams, cookies, cakes and so on. This is totally my mom's fault! She gave me IBS ( irritable Bowel syndrome ) and a big nose! DAMN MOTHER!!!
If you are unfamiliar with panna cotta, it is fancier than a pudding, and it's Italian. Which means it's a douche dessert! It’s creamy, sweet and pretty much irresistible. And fancier in the sense that it is decadent, not at all in the preparation. It comes together really quick on the stovetop, just combine milk and sugar and some gelatin. The hardest part is waiting for it to set up in the refrigerator without sticking your finger or ( depending in your food fetish ) tongue in it.
Don’t be intimidated, just remember not to over heat your gelatin and you’re good to go!
Back to losers like me, if you cannot or should avoid dairy food, swap the milk and cream with full fat coconut milk, this is what makes it nice and creamy and gives it a more solid texture.
In place of the milk you can use an unsweetened almond coconut milk blend. I like almond breeze but you can use any unsweetened coconut milk ( or almond milk, but you won’t have the same coconuty flavor ). The combination of these two gives the panna cotta the most amazing coconut flavor and silky texture.
I like my panna cotta topped with some sort of sauce or puree – my usual is some sort of fruit. What pairs perfectly is Mango! And lately they’ve been so gorgeous at the store, I can’t help but buy at least one every time I go.
This mango puree is really simple to throw together, but if you aren’t a mango fan you can easily swap it out for another fruit puree of your liking.
