You will need
Serves 4-6
- 4 cups soy milk or coconut cream

- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon Limoncello liqueur (optional)
- 1 cup jam or fruit compote
Recipe: Nadia Fragnito
Directions
5 mins to prep
10 mins to cook
2 hours to set
-
Step 1
Add all the ingredients except for the jam (or fruit compote) to a medium saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The simmering will help activate the agar.
-
Step 2
Take off the heat and pour into 4-6 lightly greased moulds (silicone moulds work well) or serving dishes (just make sure the dish can withstand the heat). Allow to cool and set on a bench for approximately 1 hour. It should set at room temperature.
-
Step 3
Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 more hour, or until fully set. If using moulds, invert onto serving plates.
-
Step 4
When ready to serve, top each panna cotta with a layer of jam or drizzle over homemade fruit compote.
Hot tip!
For an easy homemade fruit compote to pour over your panna cotta instead of jam:
Place 2 cups of fresh or frozen berries, 2 tablespoons sugar or maple syrup and the juice of 1/2 lemon into a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes. The berries will break down and thicken as it simmers. If it becomes too dry, add a dash of water.
Allow to cool slightly before drizzling over your panna cotta.
