This is another recipe using my Homemade Strawberry & Rhubarb Jam. It's super-easy and so low in carbs! However, a certain amount of patience is recommended, as panna cotta is best served after chilled in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours. Make it in the evening, let it stand overnight in the fridge and it's going to be the perfect breakfast treat!

Tips & Substitutions

Instead of gelatin powder, you can use 4 gelatin sheets or 1 envelope gelatin or Agar powder for vegetarian option (here are some great tips on how to use Agar powder).

If you are using gelatine sheets, soak them in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Combine the cream, coconut milk, Erythritol, stevia and vanilla bean in a small sauce pan over low heat. Once soft, lift the sheets from the cold water and gently remove any excess water. Add them to the warm liquid (not boiling) and stir until dissolved. Don’t boil anything with gelatine. It can make the gelatine lose its ability to thicken the panna cotta!

Do you mean coconut milk from a can or bottle? Does it make a difference?

Martina @ KetoDiet 5 years ago # Reply

You can use either. I like the one from carton called Aroy-D (better flavour) but you can use canned coconut milk too.

Dear Martina, What a wonderful recipe, thank you! I was just wondering: I've been following the paleodiet for 5 years now and have only recently started to do keto-paleo. Is there a substitute for the heavy cream? Maybe more coconut milk and some more gelatin, to keep the consistency right? I really don't do well with diary, but these look so amazing that I feel like I HAVE to make them, hence my question! 😉

Hi Sarah, thank you! Yes, you can use coconut milk - I use it instead of cream in most recipes where I need to substitute it. It also depends on the consistency - I use Aroy-D coconut milk where I need to use it liquid or tinned coconut milk for a thicker, creamy consistency (also contains more fat). Hope this helps!

Hello - what do you do with the coconut milk in the recipe? It's listed in the ingredients but not in the instructions so I am confused :/

Thanks for letting me know - fixed! 😊

Have made this recipe a couple of times now and it's become a family favourite! So easy to make and sets every time. I use a hand blender to ensure all the gelatin is mixed thoroughly into the cream mixture.
I have altered the jam recipe to suit this pannacotta though as 2T chia seeds makes it too thick, so I use 1T chia seeds and it is more a thick sauce consistency.
