RECIPE: Peanut Panna Cotta

    Smooth, silky & sumptuous. Need I say more?

    Is there anything more sumptuous than a truly divine panna cotta?

    Well how about one bursting with peanut buttery delight?

    I’m hoping your tastebuds are now piqued because that’s the recipe I have for you right here! As part of my series on ‘Redefining Desserts‘ I bring you these perfectly pretty, protein packed, peanut panna cotta in a show of how simple tweaks to the way we eat mean nothing is off the cards when living a health conscious lifestyle.

    I have been thoroughly enjoying these as a mid-afternoon snack in this warm weather (sans chocolate because that would go everywhere!) but they also make for the most divine end to a delicious meal.

    And when it comes to that artistic chocolate drizzle the less perfect the better, all natural at all times my friends :p

    Makes 4

    • ½ tbsp grass fed beef gelatin
    • 1 cup + 1 tbsp milk of choice (I used oat milk)
    • ½ tbsp raw maple syrup or raw honey (you can increase this to 1 tbsp if you want but I think this is perfect)
    • 1 scoop Motion Nutrition Roasted Peanut protein

     

    Optional to serve: 50g dark bitter chocolate (I used 90%)

     

    1. Add the milk and gelatin to a pan stirring well to dissolve completely.
    2. Add your sweetener and heat on a medium flame until just about to boil, stirring continuously. Add the protein powder and whisk well to make sure there are no lumps.
    3. Pour into silicone muffin cups (you could use greased ramekins if you want but I find these the easiest to turn them out from) and leave to set in the fridge for 3 hours.
    4. To serve melt your chocolate in a glass bowl set over a pan of simmering water, artistically decorate your plates with a couple of teaspoons worth, then turn out the panna cotta and add a generous spoon of chocolate to the top of each allowing it to gently pool down the side.
