Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Cranberry-Almond Panna Cotta Recipe

Sometimes we can get all pumpkined out. I have several in my family that simply don’t like pumpkin pie. Try serving this slightly tart Cranberry-Almond Panna Cotta instead.

Author: Tracey Rollison
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale

⅔ cup fresh cranberries
1 envelope Unflavored gelatin, not a store brand or it won’t behave right)
2 cups heavy cream
⅓ cup Powdered stevia or 9 packets Truvia or PureVia or ⅔ cup Ideal sweetener
½ teaspoon almond extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla
Coconut oil or butter

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Wipe six 6-ounce custard dishes with coconut oil or butter, using a small patch of paper towel. Or you could use a casserole dish instead of custard cups.
Put the cranberries in a small saucepan.
Add the sweetener and 2 tablespoons of water.
Boil until the cranberries are softened, pressing gently on them and stirring them with the back of a spoon, for 5 minutes.
At the same time, in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons cold water; let stand 5 minutes to soften.
Bring the cream, ½ cup water, and extract to a boil on medium heat.
Take the pan off the stove; add the gelatin mixture; stir until the gelatin is completely melted.
Add the cranberry mixture and stir until it’s all through the cream.
Pour into custard cups or a Pyrex dish.
Chill at least 3 hours. You can make this a day ahead, but don’t freeze it or it goes all gooey or clumpy, depending on your fridge.

Notes

Serves 6 – double or triple as needed to fit your Thanksgiving menu

Low Carb Menu Planning 101: Part 2

One of my earliest memories is of my mother planning menus. She'd sit down with the sales circulars from the nearby groceries and see what was on sale, chiefly checking to see what meats were cheap. Sometimes this meant we got something great like her Swedish meatballs, chicken teriyaki, or even steaks. Sometimes it meant we were stuck eating fish balls, or An Experiment Whose Name Must Not Be Mentioned.
