Breakfast Panna Cotta

Who says you can’t have dessert for breakfast?  My Breakfast Panna Cotta is full of Greek yogurt and honey, making it the perfect accompaniment to your favourite healthy granola and fresh fruit.  

I love breakfast and my favourite breakfast is hands down Granola with fresh fruit and (now) Panna Cotta.  For years I’ve been eating my Granola with either yogurt or milk, but a few years ago I was served Granola with Panna Cotta.  Seriously, what on earth?  It was amazing!  After asking for a side of milk (because who eats Granola with just Panna Cotta?) I soon realized that the milk was going to stay in it’s little jug -what was I thinking?  The Panna Cotta was so good!  And now I’m a convert…..it’s dessert for breakfast all the way (but a little bit healthier).

WHAT IS A BREAKFAST PANNA COTTA?

Panna Cotta literally translates to “cooked cream” and my Breakfast Panna Cotta is just that, with a healthier twist;  it’s made with the addition of Greek yogurt.  I have also thrown in some delicious honey for sweetness and a little vanilla bean paste (because who doesn’t love that gorgeous vanilla taste!).

WHAT’S SO GOOD ABOUT THESE PANNA COTTAS?

• You can make these delicious and healthier Panna Cottas in just a few simple steps.
• It’s like having dessert for breakfast, but with the goodness of Greek yogurt.
• You can make them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Serve them as a side with Spiced Vanilla Poached Pears and granola.
• Make a gorgeous parfait with berries and my Honey Baked Granola.

MY TIPS FOR A PERFECT BREAKFAST PANNA COTTA

• Make them the day before, to give them 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.

I hope you enjoy these delicious Breakfast Panna Cottas.  And if you’re like me and used to eating your Granola with milk, then be prepared for an upgrade!

Servings 5

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 tsp Powdered gelatin
• 1 tbsp Cold water
• ½ cup Thickened cream
• ½ tsp Vanilla 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 heat, bring the cream, honey, vanilla and sugar to a simmer.
• Remove from heat, then stir through the softened gelatin.
• In a 1 litre jug, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth.
• Pour the hot cream mixture onto the yogurt, whisking to combine.
• Pour the mixture into half sphere silicone moulds, small ramekins or glasses (see note)
• Leave in the refrigerator overnight to set.
• To serve, gently ease the panna cotta from the mould and top with granola and fruit.

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.
