from most recent book. Haven't tried. A traditional chilled italian dessert, panna cotta means literally, cooked cream. Our version iuses low fat yogurt and fat free half and half for a lighter take on the classic. If you like a stronger coffee flavor, use instant espresso powder in place of the coffee powder. Time doe not include chilling time. Ingredients:
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt |
3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin |
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half |
3 tablespoons sugar substitute |
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder |
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Lightly coat 4 (6 ounce) custard cups with cooking spray.
2. Line a strainer with paper towels and set over a large bowl. Put yogurt into the strainer and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over half and half; let stand for 10 minutes. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until gelatin dissolves. Add sugar substitute, coffee powder, and vanilla; continue whisking until sugar substitute dissolves. Remove from heat.
4. Using a rubber spatula, scrape yogurt into a large bowl. Immediately add half and half mixture and stir well to combine.
5. Divde mixture evenly among prepared custard cups. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.
