This Yogurt Panna Cotta is a light and refreshing dessert that combines creamy Greek yogurt with the delicate texture of panna cotta, garnished with a vibrant mixed berry compote and fresh mint leaves. Perfect for a sweet treat that is not too heavy, this recipe is simple to prepare and requires chilling for a smooth, set finish.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Panna Cotta Base

  • Nonstick spray
  • 3 tablespoons 1% fat milk
  • 1 1/4 cups 1% fat milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
  • 6 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1 cup Stonyfield plain 0% Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Berry Topping

  • 4 cups mixed berries (blackberries, raspberries, and sliced strawberries)
  • 8 small mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ramekins: Spray 8 (4-ounce) ramekins generously with nonstick spray to ensure easy unmolding of the panna cotta later.
  2. Bloom Gelatin: Pour 3 tablespoons of 1% fat milk into a small bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the surface. Let it stand for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to soften and bloom.
  3. Heat Milk and Sugar: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups milk and 5 tablespoons of sugar. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the milk is hot but not boiling.
  4. Dissolve Gelatin: Add the gelatin mixture to the warm milk and sugar, stirring continuously until the gelatin and sugar are completely dissolved. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  5. Combine Yogurt and Vanilla: Whisk in 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the cooled milk mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
  6. Pour and Chill: Divide the panna cotta mixture evenly, about 1/3 cup each, among the prepared ramekins. Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. Prepare Berry Compote: About 30 minutes before serving, combine the mixed berries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar in a medium bowl. Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until the berries release their juices and become juicy, about 10 minutes.
  8. Unmold and Serve: To serve, gently unmold each panna cotta onto a small plate. Top each panna cotta with 1/2 cup of the macerated berries.
  9. Garnish: Add a fresh mint leaf to each plate for aromatic garnish and an attractive presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk is hot but not boiling to prevent gelatin from breaking down and affecting the set.
  • For easier unmolding, dip the ramekins briefly in warm water for a few seconds before inverting onto a plate.
  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor in the compote.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated, making it ideal for entertaining.
  • Nonfat Greek yogurt provides a creamy texture while keeping the dessert light.
