Greek Yogurt Vanilla Bean Breakfast Panna Cotta

My traditional Greek Yogurt Vanilla Bean Breakfast Panna Cotta is super creamy and packed with delicious vanilla and honey flavour.  It’s a such an easy Panna Cotta recipe. Make it the night before, then simply top with granola and fresh fruit in the morning, for a quick and delicious breakfast treat.  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

Breakfast has to be my favourite meal of the day (right after dessert, of course!).  There’s nothing better than heading out to brunch and savouring something delicious that you can’t or don’t have time to make yourself at home.  But my traditional Greek Yogurt Vanilla Breakfast Panna Cotta recipe is so easy to make at home, and it’s so much more delicious than any cafe Panna Cotta that you’re going to be making it on repeat!  Top it with my Honey Granola and fresh fruit for a delicious start to the day, or try my  Spiced Vanilla Poached Pears for the ultimate dessert for breakfast!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• So easy to make by hand – all you need is a hand whisk, a small saucepan and a large bowl.  We whisk the yogurt, add the remaining ingredients and you’re good to go!
• Healthy breakfast – it’s a traditional panna cotta made with Greek yogurt, which makes it healthy, right?
• Meal Prep – you can make these yogurt panna cottas beforehand, ready for you in the morning ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Such a pretty breakfast – make them for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day or just any day you want to make a great impression!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon of Powdered gelatin
• 1 tablespoon Cold water
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ tsp Vanilla extract or paste
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 cup Greek Yogurt

Substitutions

• Make it dairy free by substituting the heavy cream for coconut cream and the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt.
• Swapping the vanilla extract for a little lemon juice or orange juice will give this Panna Cotta a zesty vibe.
• Using brown sugar instead of regular sugar will make a richer, more caramel flavour profile.

How To Make The Perfect Breakfast Panna Cotta

1. Place the cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle over the gelatin powder. Set aside to soften while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, bring the cream, honey, vanilla and sugar to a simmer.
3. Remove from heat, then stir through the softened gelatin.
4. In a 1 litre bowl or jug, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth.
5. Pour the hot cream mixture onto the yogurt, whisking to combine.
6. Pour the panna cotta mixture into small ramekins or glasses
7. Leave in the refrigerator overnight to set.
8. To serve, gently ease the panna cotta from the mould and top with granola and fruit.

Tips and Notes

• Make the Panna Cottas the day before, so they have enough time to set.
• Use either a silicone mould (for easy removal) or pour the mixture into individual bowls or glasses to make parfaits.
• If you use dariole moulds, you may need to sit the panna cottas in warm water for a few seconds before unmoulding them.

Serving Suggestion

• • Top with fresh berries and a dash of maple syrup for a quick and easy breakfast.
  • Make a gorgeous parfait with Spiced Vanilla Poached Pears and my Honey Baked Granola.

Storage

•  make ahead of time and keep them in the fridge, covered in cling film (plastic wrap) for up to 5 days.

I hope you enjoy these delicious Greek Yogurt Vanilla Bean Breakfast Panna Cottas.

1x2x3x

• 1 tsp Powdered gelatin
• 1 tbsp Cold water
• ½ cup Thickened cream
• ½ tsp Vanilla extract or paste
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 1 cup Greek Yogurt

Instructions

 

• Place the cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle over the gelatin powder. Set aside to soften while you prepare the other ingredients.
• In a small saucepan over medium low heat, bring the cream, honey, vanilla and sugar to a simmer.
• Remove from heat, then stir through the softened gelatin.
• In a 1 litre bowl or jug, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth.
• Pour the hot cream mixture onto the yogurt, whisking to combine.
• Pour the mixture into small ramekins or glasses (see note)

Notes

• Silicone moulds are easier to remove the set panna cotta than a dariole mould or ramekin.  If using dariole moulds or ramekins, to remove the panna cotta you may need to sit the panna cottas in warm water for a few seconds, to make it easier to unmould.

• You can set the panna cotta in individual glasses, to serve as a breakfast parfait.
