Ingredients:
- Panna Cotta:Two cups of almond milk
- Four teaspoons of Vegan Jel
- Three tablespoons of beet sugar
- One seeded vanilla bean
- One cup of nondairy creamer
- Half a teaspoon of almond extract (or two tablespoons of amaretto)
- One teaspoon of vanilla
- Quarter teaspoon of salt
- Sliced almonds (for topping)
- 500 grams of lychee, fresh and peeled
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1
Pour half a cup of milk in a saucepan, sprinkling gelatin over it. Leave it for five minutes.
Step 2
Warm the mixture over low heat, then add in the beet sugar and vanilla bean. Let it cook until all ingredients have dissolved.
Step 3
Turn off the heat and whisk the remaining almond milk, creamer, amaretto, vanilla, and salt into the saucepan.
Step 4
Transfer the panna cotta mixture into a container, letting it chill in the fridge for a few hours. I would suggest you leave it overnight to set properly.
Step 5
When the panna cotta is all set and firm, slice it into pieces and transfer it to separate bowls evenly. Add in the lychees and almonds. If you want better presentation, add a small basil leaf and serve!
Pro-Tips You Should Follow
Here are some excellent tips you should follow to make this panna cotta even better!
- You don't need to follow the recipe to the dot. If you feel like it needs more sweetness, then add more beet sugar.
- People might think that amaretto isn't vegan-friendly, but many brands are proud to say that they are. Look for Lazzaroni or Disaronno Amaretto.
- When storing the panna cotta, keep them covered and let it stay in the fridge until you consume it. Make sure to eat the stored panna cotta within three days. Do NOT leave leftover panna cotta for a few hours at room temperature or it will quickly spoil.
