Scale
- 3 cups (710 ml) Dream Ultimate Almond Beverage (unsweetened)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons gelatin
- 1/3 cups (80 ml) sugar
- 2 tablespoons DiSaranno or other amaretto flavored liquor
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua - or other coffee flavored liquor
- 1/4 cups (60 ml) sliced almonds (lightly toasted)
- amaretto for each serving
- fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preparation of Almond Beverage:
- Shake the almond beverage well before opening and pour into a medium bowl or measuring cup.
- If the liquid appears lumpy, whisk until smooth; if lumps remain, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
- Gelatin Blooming:
- Transfer the almond beverage to a medium saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over the beverage.
- Allow it to sit for a few minutes until the gelatin starts to soften or bloom.
- Dissolving Gelatin and Sugar:
- Place the saucepan on medium-low heat and stir continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves. Ensure the mixture doesn’t boil or smoke.
- Check the back of your stirring spoon for clear gelatin grains; if present, continue stirring until fully dissolved.
- Add sugar to the saucepan, stirring until it completely dissolves.
- Adding Liquors:
- Mix in both the amaretto and coffee liquors.
- Ramekin Preparation:
- Lightly spray the inside of your 4-ounce ramekins with vegetable spray and use a paper towel to evenly spread and remove excess spray, leaving only a thin film.
- Filling Ramekins:
- Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly among the ramekins and place ramekins in the refrigerator to set.
- Allow at least two hours, though overnight is ideal.
- Serving:
- Panna cotta can be served directly in the ramekins.
- For a plated presentation: Add warm water to a bowl, briefly immerse each ramekin in the warm water (ensuring the water doesn’t reach the rim), run a thin knife blade around the top edge of the panna cotta, and place a plate upside-down over the ramekin and invert to release the panna cotta onto the plate.
- Drizzle approximately one teaspoon of amaretto over each panna cotta.
- Garnish with toasted almond slices and fresh raspberries.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat almond milk instead of unsweetened almond beverage.
- If you don’t have amaretto or Kahlua, substitute with vanilla extract or another liqueur of your choice.
- Store leftover panna cotta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
