tagAlt.Coffee Panna Cotta with Almond Crunch

A most versatile dessert recipe, you can easily make this a lactose-free dessert by using almond milk rather than skim or full-fat milk if you suffer from lactose issues.

You can smoothly substitute the almond crunch on top for fresh macerated seasonal fruit, or just drizzle a bit of jam mixed with water to create a lovely compote.  The panna cotta base can open a whole new world of dessert options that you can pull together easily and quickly, with minimal effort.

Just be sure to leave enough time for gelatin to soak and set, and you'll be on your way to a delicious, fresh dessert recipe designed to impress your guests and tastebuds alike.

Prepare the panna cotta base

In medium sauce pan, boil milk with heavy whipping cream and granulated sugar.  You can substitute agar agar for gelatin sheets - if using agar, add into milk blend and cook.  If using gelatin, add sheets to small cup of cold water and allow to soften for 30 minutes. 

Once softened, add to heated milk mixture above, and stir until completely dissolved.   Remove from heat.  Once all ingredients have boiled together, add coffee and stir well.  Pour mixture into 4 small individual ramekins, and allow to cool.  When room temperature, place into refrigerator and allow to cool until desired consistency is reached.

Smooth and satisfying

I was always hesitant to tackle making this classic Italian dessert since I've always imagined it's a difficult one to manage, but I took the plunge and tried it out here. Boy, I was so wrong because not only was this a breeze to get through, but it was super delicious and adding the almond crunch takes it up a notch of deliciousness.
