We kept the calories and fat down but the texture creamy in this Italian favorite by using fat-free and low-fat milks instead of heavy cream.
1/4 oz unsweetened gelatin 1/4 cup water, cold 5 Tbsp sugar 1 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk 3/4 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk 1/2 Tbsp honey 2 cups strawberries, fresh, hulled or frozen and thawed 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp lemon zest 1/8 oz pine nuts, about 4 tsp
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water. Allow to soften, about 5 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, in a large measuring cup, combine 3 tablespoons sugar, milks and honey. 3. Heat gelatin over low heat until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir in milk mixture. Remove from heat. 4. Coat six 1-cup ramekins with cooking spray. Fill each ramekin half way with milk mixture. Chill until firm, about 4 hours or overnight. 5. To make sauce: In a food processor, purée strawberries. Pour into saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, extract and zest. Simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Cool. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. 6. To assemble: Run a small knife around edge of panna cotta to loosen them. Dip ramekins into warm water for 30 seconds, careful not to get water into ramekins. Invert onto 6 dessert plates. Top each with about 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons sauce and 1/2 heaping teaspoon pine nuts. Serve.
