This easy keto cottage cheese Panna Cotta has just 5 ingredients and just 2 grams of total carbs!
Keto Panna Cotta
Panna Cotta in Italian means, "Cooked Cream". It's a very simple sweet treat, yet delicious Italian dessert that uses just a few simple ingredients.
Traditional panna cotta has cream, sugar and vanilla flavors in it, as well as gelatin to help it set and mold.
Sometimes other extracts like coffee or lemon, are used to create slight flavor variations in this wonderfully silky smooth, creamy dessert.
Carbs in this traditional Italian dessert according to the app Cronometer, a basic vanilla bean with about 100 grams for a serving has 16.5 grams of total carbs.
That's quite high for anyone on a keto diet since most people stick to about 20-30 total carbs a day.

Can I swap the Low-Carb Sweetener?
I used monk fruit sweetener that's combined with allulose but if you can't find that or don't want t purchase it online, you can use another low carb sweetener your prefer.
Here's my sweetener guide of natural low carb sweeteners and it includes a conversion chart.
I've got thousands of recipes here on my website since 2011 so it's taking me some time to convert many of my low-carb recipes that use erythritol.
Since the recent studies have concerned many people from wanting to use it, I have been using the monk fruit allulose bend in most of my easy keto recipes.
If you use Allulose by itself you may need to use more than I did since mine includes Monk Fruit it's sweet enough.
You may want to use an additional sweetener perhaps vanilla stevia or liquid monk fruit.
Can I leave out the gelatin?
No, this simple recipe needs gelatin to make it hold it's shape.
This Grass-Fed Gelatin is the one I use because of the fact of what I learned in Nutritional Therapy School about toxins.
All toxins are stored within our fat cells, people and animals, so if you want to make sure you aren't ingesting toxins, using grass fed gelatin is the best option for your health.
Another great brand is Great Lakes as well as Further Foods.
You could swap with agar agar for a vegetarian option.
