Keto Strawberry Panna Cotta is a heavenly dessert for people who follow a low carb or ketogenic diet.
This low carb pana cotta is also easy to make and can be prepared beforehand. Very convenient when you have friends for dinner. Maybe even as a second choice of dessert to meet the needs of someone following a particular diet.
Not all of the low carb desserts I experiment with automatically transfer well to a sugar-free version. But this low carb panna cotta did and it does stand up to its classic counterpart.
The choice of strawberries is not fortuitous either. Strawberries are amongst the fruits with a lower glycemic index. This makes them suitable for anyone who has to keep the insulin levels in check. The strawberry coulis is also sugar free.
Like for the rest of my low carb recipes, erythritol can be substituted with stevia. But stevia has a peculiar flavor that does not necessarily meet everyone’s taste.
