More Recipes You'll Love
Almond panna cotta with raspberry rhubarb jam is a creamy, egg-free custard that sets on gelatin alone, crowned with a quick stovetop jam. Almond extract keeps the base distinctly nutty while the rhubarb jam cuts the richness with sharp fruit. It chills in an hour and never touches the oven.
Pro Tips
- Warm the almond milk gently and whisk the gelatin in off the boil - a hard boil flattens the almond extract perfume.
- Dice the rhubarb small so it collapses into the jam in 15-20 minutes instead of leaving fibrous chunks.
- Homemade almond milk gives the cleanest flavor and set; if buying, choose one without gums so the custard does not seize into rubber.
- Spoon the jam on only after both components are fully cold, or it sinks and marbles the custard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this almond panna cotta vegan?
As written it uses grass-fed gelatin, so no. Swap in about 2 teaspoons of agar-agar bloomed the same way and it sets vegan.
How far ahead can I make this dessert?
The panna cotta keeps 3-4 days covered in the fridge and the jam about a week, so it is a natural make-ahead.
Can I use frozen rhubarb in the jam?
Yes, straight from the freezer. Just give it a few extra minutes uncovered at the end to drive off the extra water.
