Easy Lime Panna Cotta (Italian Cream Custard)
Ingredients:
1 packet gelatin
1/4 cup water
Another 3 Tablespoons water to dissolve gelatin
1/2 tsp Almond Extract
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cp Splenda or Stevia
1 Tablespoon lime juice
2 Tablespoons grated lime peel (optional)
How to Prepare:
- Although panna cotta translates as “cooked cream,” in fact, you heat the heavy cream only long enough to dissolve the gelatin.
- Set out six 6-oz dessert cups. (Can use dessert molds, but cups are easier.)
- In a 1/4 cp measuring cup, add the 3 Tablespoons of water and sprinkle the packet of gelatin over the top. Mix. In 5-7 minutes, the gelatin will be softened.
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, 1/4 cup water, sugar substitute, lime juice, and optional grated lime peel. Stir occasionally until starts to steam- do not boil!
- Remove from heat, stir in the gelatin mixture, and mix well.
- Divide mixture among the six dessert cups or molds.
- Chill until firm (about one hour). Serve with optional lime peel garnish.
