Have you been craving a silky smooth dessert that is both indulgent and gelatin-free? Look no further! In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of making collagen-free panna cotta, a delightful Italian dessert that will surely impress your family and friends.

What is Panna Cotta?

Panna cotta is a traditional Italian dessert that translates to “cooked cream.” It is a custard-like dessert made from cream, sugar, and gelatin. However, if you prefer to avoid using gelatin, we have a fantastic alternative recipe that skips the collagen and delivers equally delectable results!

The Crucial Ingredient Swap: Agar-Agar

Instead of gelatin, we will be using agar-agar, a natural plant-based substitute derived from seaweed. Agar-agar is a great alternative for those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet and for those who prefer to steer clear of animal products. It sets perfectly and provides the same smooth texture as gelatin.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons of agar-agar powder
  • 1/4 cup of cold water

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the agar-agar powder and cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the agar-agar to hydrate.

3. Once the agar-agar has hydrated, add it to the saucepan with the cream mixture. Stir well to ensure it is fully incorporated.

4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while continuously stirring. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to activate the agar-agar and thicken the panna cotta.

5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

6. Carefully pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or molds. Let them cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

7. Once cooled, cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the panna cotta to set.

8. To serve, you can unmold the panna cotta onto a plate or serve it directly from the glasses. Garnish with fresh fruits, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of grated coconut.
