Panna Cotta

Panna cotta is Italian for “cooked cream.” I’ve never had panna cotta before but it seemed to be a good recipe to make as it is full of delicious fats and gelatin. I was not disappointed! This simple recipe turned out perfectly the first time and I will definitely be making it again!

I was gifted some goblets but you can really use any small bowl as a mold. You can also remove your panna cotta from the molds once it is set and top your panna cotta with a fruit sauce like this strawberry sauce or a rich chocolate fudge sauce. I felt that it was plenty sweet on it’s own but a sauce would take the wow factor up a notch.

I used date sugar for this recipe. I’m very excited to use this new sweetener for recipe! As far as I could tell, it’s minimally processed, just dried and pulverized dates. An additional test was to see how my body responded to it and it responded like it does to any other type of fruit sugar. I’m excited to use this as a fruit sweetener on GAPS and Full GAPS recipes!
