Chocolate Coffee Panna Cotta

by | Feb 22, 2016 | 0 comments

There are so many people intolerant to dairy, nuts, coconut (as its now being used in almost everything as an alternative), eggs and more, that sometimes you have to get a little creative in the kitchen and try something new. The base of this panna cotta is made from soaked pepitas which have been blended to resemble a smooth peptia ‘cream’ . While its not the traditional light and soft dairy version, this version of panna cotta is a wonderfully nourishing alternative for not only those with allergies or intolerance but for those wanting to try something delicious and new. The richness from the cacao and coffee pairs so well with fresh seasonal sweet berries.
