Creamy, silky greek yogurt panna cotta topped with a raspberry white wine syrup.
Ingredients
For Panna Cotta:
1⅔ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup sugar
1½ tsp. powdered gelatin
For Raspberry-White Wine Syrup:
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
2 cups white wine
½ cup granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean, split down the middle lengthwise
Instructions
For Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta: Place ½ cup heavy cream in a large glass, heat-proof bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over the heavy cream. Let stand 5 minutes to allow gelatin to "bloom", or soften. Heat the remaining ½ cup cream with the ½ cup sugar and pour over the gelatin and cream. Stir. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until all of the gelatin and sugar is dissolved.
In another bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Add a little of the hot cream into the yogurt, whisking well, and then adding the rest in a steady stream. Whisk well, making sure no lumps remain. Ladle into 6 ramekins or small bowls. Refrigerate until firm.
For Raspberry-White Wine Syrup: Bring the wine, sugar and vanilla bean to a boil in a small saucepan. Lower heat so the wine barely simmers. Let it simmer for about 30-45 minutes, or until it is reduced by half. Add the raspberries and bring back to a simmer, just until berries start to soften and release their juices. Serve warm or cold.
To serve: Either unmold the panna cotta by running a very thin knife around the edge of the ramekin or bowl and turning it out onto a shallow dessert dish, or serve in the ramekin. Top with some of the raspberry-white wine syrup.
