EDITED September 14, 2019: It was brought to my attention that Imperial Sugar does use bone-char in their processing, though they were listed on the PETA website as they don’t. Imperial Sugar is reaching out to PETA to have themselves removed from their website. Imperial Sugar also said that “they are currently in the midst of updating their equipment to not use bone char anymore, but it isn’t an overnight fix with an operation that big”.

Vegan Chocolate Butter Panna Cotta with Strawberry Sauce

If I knew this famous Italian dessert was so easy to make, I would have made it my go-to dessert for all parties! Seriously! It’d always looked so intimidating to me, and one of those ‘served-in-restaurants’ only desserts. Honest-to-Italian-restaurants-god! My younger son said this vegan panna cotta with strawberry sauce was awesome when he was finishing his 4th piece 🙂

 

Vegan Chocolate Butter Panna Cotta with Strawberry Sauce

I’ve used soy milk for this recipe, but you can use any plan-based milk as well. The other recipe was made with coconut milk and it was great too!

Because of the chocolate butter, this panna cotta (or pannacotta, as some might spell it) is not white. Of course, you can omit it, if you are after a pure white dessert. But it definitely adds chocolate flavour to it!

How to make vegan panna cotta

I used the agar agar powder, as it is what I had. If you are using the flakes, you will need to increase the quantity to probably 2-2.5 tsp.

For the strawberry sauce, I made it both ways: with and without arrowroot powder. Both times it turned into the delicious thick sauce. With the arrowroot powder, it was a bit stickier and jello-like. So, you can try it both ways and see which one you rather prefer.

I used the light brown sugar by Imperial Sugar, as at the moment of writing this post, they were listed on the PETA website as a company which doesn’t use bone-char in the processing. Please see my updated note above.

For the moulds, I used regular cupcakes silicon cups 🙂 If you are lucky to have the ramekins, you can definitely use them.

The advantage of the silicon cups, though, that I could just easily remove them without the whole procedure of dipping the ramekins in hot water to release the panna cotta from the mould.

And, seriously, it may sound complicated, but it is soooo easy to make this mouthwatering recipe at home with minimum ingredients which, I bet, you probably have in your pantry already!

So, please let me know if you make this vegan chocolate butter panna cotta 🙂 I would love to hear how it turned out for you!

    One of the plants that I’ve wanted to have in my One of the plants that I’ve wanted to have in my garden for so many years!

It was growing in our neighbours yard in my home country. When I was a kid I loved seeing those white “snowballs” on that tree. 

Many years later, in one of the local nurseries, I noticed a tiny plant that looked so familiar, I was almost crying when I saw it 😊

Of course I got it!

It has only been in our garden for 3 years but it has grown into a beautiful plant which seems to be happy and shows off it’s gorgeous blooms!

Some plants, like hosta, love it! They grow rapidly and show off 😁

We don’t mind it! Let them shine 😉

Honestly, I’m becoming obsessed with hosta! I wish I could add so many more of them into our small urban lot where we try to grow fruit and veggies and a few flowers 😊

They are also perfect plants to fill the shady spots. And because there are so many kinds, sizes and colours of them, you can create gorgeous garden spots with them!

Who else is obsessed with hostas or planning to add them in their gardens?
