Indulge in this healthy dessert: a creamy ginger-turmeric panna cotta with a vibrant spiced berry compote. Boost your wellness with every bite!
Ingredients
- • coconut milk: 2 cups
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1 cup
- • fresh ginger, grated: 1 tablespoon
- • ground turmeric: 1 teaspoon
- • agar-agar powder: 1 teaspoon
- • honey or maple syrup: 3 tablespoons
- • mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries): 2 cups
- • cinnamon stick: 1
- • ground cardamom: 1/4 teaspoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • lemon zest: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, almond milk, grated ginger, ground turmeric, and agar-agar powder. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- 2 Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the agar-agar is fully dissolved.
- 3 Remove from heat and stir in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture into small ramekins or dessert cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- 4 While the panna cotta sets, prepare the berry compote. In a separate saucepan, combine mixed berries, cinnamon stick, ground cardamom, and lemon zest over medium heat.
- 5 Cook the berry mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the berries release their juices and soften. Remove the cinnamon stick and let the compote cool.
- 6 To serve, remove the panna cotta from the refrigerator, top with the spiced berry compote, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Ginger-Turmeric Panna Cotta pairs beautifully with a side of roasted nuts or a light almond biscotti to add texture to the creamy dessert. For a refreshing beverage, consider serving it with a chilled herbal tea such as chamomile or peppermint, which complements the panna cotta's warm spices. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish each serving with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or a few edible flowers. These additions will not only enhance the visual appeal but also add subtle flavors that harmonize with the dessert's exotic profile.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover panna cotta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the spiced berry compote in a separate container to prevent the panna cotta from becoming too soggy. When ready to serve, gently reheat the compote if desired, or serve it chilled alongside the panna cotta.
