Panna cotta... the stuff of dreams. Traditionally made with heavy whipping cream and lots of sugar, even a small serving packs a pretty big calorie and fat punch. Here's a modified version using thick, creamy greek yogurt - providing all the taste and texture, PLUS protein, minus loads of fat and calories...
Ingredients-
- 2 cups greek yogurt (Fage 0% or 2%)
- 1 cup whole milk (could use lower fat)
- 1/3 cup sweetener of choice (I use Vivalac Whey Low sweetener)
- 1 packet Knox instant gelatin
- fresh berries of choice
- 4 tablespoons sugar-free or reduced sugar fruit preserves of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
Directions-
in small bowl, soften gelatin in 3 tablespoons of water (this stuff stinks like dirty, wet dog)
in saucepan, heat milk and sugar until bubbly
whisk in softened gelatin for a minute
slowly whisk in yogurt, mix well
add extract of choice
pour into 4 pretty dessert glasses or wine glasses
chill in fridge until set - about 1 hr
microwave fruit preserves until runny and top each panna cotta with 1 tablespoon
garnish with berries
return to fridge until ready to serve
