Nutritional benefits
By replacing much of the cream with milk and using agar-agar (a plant-based gelling agent), you get a panna cotta with half the fat. The red berry coulis adds freshness, vitamins and antioxidants. Gluten-free.
Variations and substitutions
- With coconut milk (vegan).
- Mango coulis or caramel.
- With coffee or matcha tea.
- Even lighter (all milk).
Storage and making ahead
Keeps for 3 days in the fridge; add the coulis at the last moment.
💡 Good to know
Agar-agar must boil for at least 1 minute to set: without this boil, the panna cotta will not set.
