Panna Cotta
- 2 1/3 cups almond-milk eggnog ( I used Whole Food’s version)
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin, animal free if preferred
Topping:
- 1 large ripe pear, diced (large)
- 2 ripe Fuyu persimmons, peeled and diced (large)
- Raisins to taste, optional
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
Panna Cotta:
- Sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup almond-milk eggnog in a small bowl. Let stand 4 minutes.
- Add remaining almond-milk eggnog to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and add gelatin mixture, stirring until the gelatin dissolves.
- Pour mixture evenly into 6 (6-ounce) ramekins (or cups of your choice) coated with cooking spray.
- Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, loosen the edges of custards with a knife or rubber spatula.
- Place a dessert plate, upside down, on top of each cup and then invert onto plates.
- Spoon the sauce around custard
- You can also serve the dessert in the ramekins. Just top with the fruit and serve.
Fruit Topping:
- Add fruit and sugar to a sauce pan over medium heat.
- Cook until fruit is softened and has released juices and all the sugar is dissolved. Don’t overcook –you don’t want mushy fruit.
- Cool slightly before topping the panna cotta.
Notes
- You can squeeze a little bit of lemon juice onto the cooked fruit to retain brightness.
