Strawberry Panna Cotta (dairy free)

Jump to Recipe

Strawberry season is here!  And I am celebrating with this light, creamy, and beautiful dessert: Dairy Free Strawberry Panna Cotta.

Nothing makes me happier than a basket of sweet  strawberries on a warm sunny day.  We are blessed to live in Northern California where we get some of the best, organic strawberries in the world.

I grew up in Finland where the growing season is very short.  But the berries in Finland in the summer are like nothing you have ever tasted.  I grew up eating fresh strawberries and blueberries picked from the forest.  My grandmother grew the biggest raspberries in her back yard.  I can still remember placing them on the fingers of both hands before eating them.

Now that I am a mama, I get to relive the joys of summer berries with my Little One.  And that means a weekly run to our local organic berry farm where we get the sweetest, most beautiful strawberries.  We are still waiting for the strawberries in our backyard to start producing.

And what goes better with strawberries than a little sweet cream?  Here’s my ode to the sweet summer strawberry:  Dairy Free Strawberry Panna Cotta

Strawberry Panna Cotta (dairy free) ~~ www.savorylotus.com

Panna Cotta literally means cooked cream in Italian.  There are many ways to make it, but the easiest way I have found is to simply heat some creamy coconut milk , adding some gelatin and sweetener, and letting it cool until set.

I’ve shared my recipe for Lemon Panna Cotta before.  It’s definitely a family favorite.  Strawberry Panna Cotta is a bit easier as I don’t even bother trying to slide the panna cotta out of the custard cup and onto a plate.  I like the layered look of the jam and the creamy filling in the glass cup.

Panna cotta is a nice change from overly sweet desserts.  This light and delicate treat is perfect for your summer gatherings.  It’s creamy and delicious, and you get a wonderful strawberry chia jam surprise when you dig in with your spoon.

Scale

FOR STRAWBERRY CHIA JAM

  • 1/2 pint of fresh strawberries fresh strawberries, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tbsp of chia seeds (I use THIS brand)

FOR PANNA COTTA:

  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp grass fed gelatin (I use THIS grass fed brand)
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk (I use THIS BPA-free brand)
  • 2 TBS maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • extra strawberries for garnish

Instructions

FOR STRAWBERRY CHIA JAM:

  1. Combine strawberries, maple syrup and salt in a small saucepan and set over medium heat.
  2. Once the strawberries begin to “sweat” and give off some liquid, add the chia seeds.
  3. Bring to a boil, then turn down to low. Allow to simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of jam into your 4 small glass containers and allow to cool for 10 minutes then place in the fridge to cool completely.

FOR PANNA COTTA:

  1. Pour 2 tablespoons of water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and allow to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, gently heat coconut milk in a small pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally. When the coconut milk is steaming hot (but not boiling), remove from heat and add gelatin/water mixture.
  3. Whisk until gelatin is completely dissolved. Whisk in sweetener of choice and vanilla.
  4. Remove strawberry-filled cups from fridge and divide coconut mixture evenly among the 4 containers.
  5. Place into fridge to set- for at least 4 hours.
  6. Remove from fridge and garnish with fresh strawberries. Enjoy!

i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the b i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the beginning of my healing journey 

healing, digestion, and rest are all parasympathetic processes • if the body is in a chronic stress state, these things do not happen 

chronic stress produces stress hormones that created physiological changes in the body (increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased blood sugar levels) • these changes take the focus away from digestion and repair 

reducing and eliminating the triggers that create constant stress on the body is crucial to being able to heal • because the body does not let go or heal when it doesn’t feel safe 

how to create safety in the body? —-> addressing life stress, woundings/traumas, underlying infections, toxicities (heavy metals, plastics, etc), nutritional deficiencies, environmental hazards like mold, and anything else that is constantly triggering the body to feel unsafe
💗 start with the basics • your well-being is 💗 start with the basics • your well-being is only as strong as the foundation you build it on 

💗 your mental and physical health is determined by the bed rock you have to lean on when “stress” happens 

💗 building resilience in the body and mind is how you navigate difficult situations 

💗 if you are not where you want to be in life, in health, in mindset... consider going back to the basics 

💗 the basics:

- the food you eat 
- the water you drink 
- your quality of sleep
- your daily movement
- your daily mindset
- your level of stress
- the quality of your breath 
- your drainage pathways 
- the people you surround yourself with 

💗 absolutely no judgement here • we are all in different seasons of life • just a loving reminder that a strong foundation is necessary to build upon
