1 to 1 Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta Recipe:

  • 1 Tablespoon Powdered Gelatin
  • 3 Tablespoons Water
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 2 cups Plain Full-Fat Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 Vanilla Bean or 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Topping Ideas:

  • Creamed or Orange Blossom Honey
  • Fresh Berries
  • Berry Compote or Sauce
  • Honey Walnut Drizzle
  • Salted Caramel

Instructions

  • Place gelatin in small bowl and sprinkle water over gelatin. Stir and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream, sugar, and honey over medium heat until it begins to simmer and sugar is dissolved. Do not let it come to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin mixture. Whisk until gelatin dissolves.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt and remaining 1 cup of heavy cream.
  • Stir yogurt mixture and heated cream sugar together until creamy. Add vanilla beans or vanilla extract and stir.
  • Pour into jars, glasses, ramekins, or dishes. Place in refrigerator, covered, for 4-5 hours, or until set.
  • You may serve panna cotta in glasses or may invert it onto a plate. To invert on a plate, run a sharp knife along edges to release. If the panna cotta isn't coming out, carefully place ramekin in hot water and it will slide right out.
  • Top with honey, fresh fruits, nuts, caramel, homemade jam, or whatever you desire.

Notes

I suggest using full-fat Greek yogurt for optimal creaminess
