Saffron and Almond Milk Panna Cotta




The nutty flavor of Silk Almond Milk pairs beautifully with a delicate spice such as saffron, and lends it a soft hue making the dessert instantly appealing. What better than this healthy yet decadent dessert!

Serves: 2

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup Silk Almond Milk
  • 1 cup non dairy creamer or milk powder
  • ¼ cup sugar (lesser, if you like your desserts mildly sweetened)
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 large pinch of good quality saffron
  • Sprig of mint for garnish

Method:
Place the Silk Almond Milk, non-dairy creamer or milk powder, and sugar in a heavy-bottomed pot and heat gently, whisking occasionally to ensure that the sugar does not burn at the bottom. When hot, add the saffron strands and leave to infuse for 4-5 minutes. Meanwhile, place the gelatin in a small microwave-safe bowl and cover with the 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave for one minute, checking at 30 seconds to see that the gelatin has bloomed. Add the gelatin to the warm milk mixture and whisk it in. Ensure that there are no lumps of gelatin in the mixture.
Pour into small glasses or moulds of choice. Cool for 3-4 hours or until set.
Garnish with strands of saffron and a sprig of mint. Serve cool.
