Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whisk erythritol, gelatin, and salt in a small saucepan until very well combined. Whisk in 2 cups almond milk and let sit for 5 minutes. Cut vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds. Add bean and seeds to the cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let mixture cool, about 15 minutes. Strain cream mixture through fine-mesh strainer into medium bowl.

  2. Mix remaining 2 cups of almond milk with 2 teaspoons vinegar. Gently whisk ‘buttermilk’ mixture into cooked vanilla mixture.

  3. Set four large ramekins on a baking sheet. Divide mixture evenly among ramekins. Chill for at least 6 hours.

  4. Working with 1 panna cotta at a time, insert knife between panna cotta and side of ramekin. Gently run knife around edge of ramekin to loosen panna cotta. Cover ramekin with serving plate and invert panna cotta onto plate. Jiggle slightly so the panna cotta releases onto the plate. Top each panna cotta with 3 to 5 berries. Sprinkle with erythritol brown sugar if desired and serve.
