A light and refreshing twist on classic Panna Cotta, using Greek yogurt for a tangy and creamy dessert, infused with delicate orange blossom aroma and topped with crunchy pistachios.
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes until softened.
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and the mixture is steaming (do not boil).
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and orange blossom water.
Gradually pour the warm cream mixture into the Greek yogurt mixture, whisking constantly until smooth and well combined.
Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins.
Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Before serving, garnish with chopped pistachios and a drizzle of honey (optional).
Nutrition per serving (165g)
To easily remove the panna cotta from the ramekins, dip the bottom of each ramekin in warm water for a few seconds before inverting onto a plate.
You can substitute the pistachios with other nuts like almonds or walnuts.
For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and agar-agar as a gelatin substitute.
This pairs well with Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken with Feta Salad.
