Sour Cream Panna Cotta

Cookinero 10 Apr 2025

Boiled cream, or panna cotta, is a traditional Italian dessert. It was invented several centuries ago in Piedmont. Today, you can try panna cotta in almost any Italian cafe or restaurant. Italians prefer to cook the dessert exclusively according to the traditional recipe. While the best chefs in the world have long ago developed panna cotta with different flavors and ingredients. Delicate and delicious panna cotta is made not only from cream, but also from sour cream. True, you have to use a little more gelatin.

Sour Cream Panna Cotta - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for sour cream for a tangy flavor with less fat. The texture may be slightly thicker, so consider thinning it with a bit of milk if needed.
Sour cream panna cotta can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Cover the bowls with plastic wrap to prevent them from absorbing other odors.
Absolutely! Use agar-agar instead of gelatin (dissolve 1 tsp agar-agar in 3 tbsp water, then heat) for a vegetarian version. Adjust quantities as agar-agar sets differently.
For a low-carb alternative, replace jam with a sugar-free sweetener like erythritol or stevia, mixed with a dash of vanilla extract or mashed berries for flavor.
To avoid lumps, ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved before mixing, and stir the sour cream mixture gently but thoroughly while heating. Straining the mixture before pouring can also help.
Freezing is not recommended, as it can alter the creamy texture. Panna cotta is best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for a few days.
Garnish with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of crushed nuts. Serve in clear glasses or unmold onto plates for a visually appealing dessert.
Yes! Adjust portion sizes by dividing the mixture into smaller ramekins or using a larger mold. Keep the refrigeration time consistent for proper setting.
If the panna cotta isn’t firm enough, chill it longer (up to overnight). If it’s still runny, the gelatin may have been insufficient—try reheating and adding a bit more dissolved gelatin.
