Sugar-Free Panna Cotta with Berry Reduction

Sugar-Free Panna Cotta with Berry Reduction
By Brenda Carlos

This is an elegant dessert without the sugar. It does have calories though from the cream and sour cream. It works for anyone following the Atkins Diet. I've served it a number of elegant events and everyone loves it.

Heavy cream 2 cups
Unflavored gelatin 1 envelope
Sour cream 1 pint
“Equal” 16 pkgs.
Vanilla 1 tbsp.
Nutmeg As needed

Sprinkle the gelatin on top of the heavy cream and let stand for 2 minutes. Heat slowly over low heat, whisking some for 5 minutes. Remove the skim that has formed. Add the sour cream, “Equal” and vanilla. Mix well and pour into individual serving bowls (ramekins) and chill for at least 3 hours.

Reduction
Fresh Raspberries 1 pt.
Mix 2/3 of the berries with 2 pgs of “Equal” and crush.

To Serve
Drizzle a little of the reduction over the dessert add a few fresh raspberries and a dollop of freshly made whipped cream
