Simone Thomas Wellness Christmas Panna Cotta Nutrihome Recipe

Christmas Panna Cotta

Christmas Panna Cotta

Panna cotta it is one of the easiest and the most delicious desserts, usually prepared with double cream and white sugar but I love to make a less heavy and vegan friendly version of this Italian pudding.

Packed with festive spices and raisins it still makes a lighter alternative to heavy Christmas desserts and can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. I usually add 1 tbsp of potato starch to my vegan panna cotta to make the texture softer (and more delicious) and serve it with berries, which are loaded with antioxidants.

• Boil and whisk continuously for another 2 minutes and add half of the orange zest.

• Grease 6 small serving bowls lightly (it will help to remove the panna cotta from the dish) and divide the mixture between them.

• Set aside to cool completely, cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.

• To serve, dip the bowls into hot water to loosen each panna cotta and turn out on a serving plate. Decorate with fresh berries and the remaining orange zest.
