Panna cotta is a creamy, chilled dessert often found throughout Italy. While delicious, it tends to be pretty rich—it literally translates to “cooked cream.” We put a slightly more nutritious spin on the popular dessert by incorporating Greek yogurt and honey into the recipe and swapping out most of the cream. The gelatin is dissolved into just 1/4 cup heavy cream before being melted into the rest of the ingredients. The result is a rich panna cotta that isn’t overly sweet, perfect for enjoying again and again.
The yogurt adds a slight tang to the panna cotta, which is balanced out perfectly by the honey. We’d encourage you to have fun with the toppings as well. A few of your favorite berries and another drizzle of honey will always be a classic. Tip: Allow spent vanilla beans to air-dry overnight, then add them to your sugar containers. The vanilla’s aroma will slowly infuse into the sugar that you can use for baking or to sweeten your morning cup of coffee.
