ErewhonProbiotic Kefir Honey Panna Cotta with Berry Compote
Ingredients
For the Kefir Honey Panna Cotta
- 1 1/2 cups organic whole milk
- 2 teaspoons grass-fed gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup raw honey, plus more for drizzling
- 1/2 vanilla bean, scraped, or 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups organic full-fat kefir
For the Organic Berry Compote
- 1 1/2 cups organic mixed berries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon raw honey, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons filtered water
- 1 teaspoon organic lemon juice
For Garnish
- 4 organic mint leaves
Instructions
- 1
Lightly grease four 4-ounce ramekins or panna cotta molds with a neutral oil like organic avocado oil. This will help with easy unmolding.
⏱️ 2 min
- 2
In a small saucepan, pour 1/2 cup of the organic whole milk. Sprinkle the grass-fed gelatin powder evenly over the milk and let it bloom for 5 minutes. This allows the gelatin to soften and dissolve smoothly.
⏱️ 5 min
- 3
After the gelatin has bloomed, gently heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
⏱️ 3 min
- 4
Whisk in the remaining 1 cup of organic whole milk, raw honey, and the scraped vanilla bean seeds (or vanilla extract) into the warm gelatin mixture until well combined.
⏱️ 2 min
- 5
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then gently fold in the organic full-fat kefir. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which can affect the panna cotta's texture. The live cultures in the kefir provide beneficial probiotics for gut health.
⏱️ 3 min
- 6
Pour the panna cotta mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins or molds. Cover each with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set. This passive time is crucial for the panna cotta to firm up properly.

While the panna cotta is chilling, prepare the organic berry compote. In a small saucepan, combine the organic mixed berries, raw honey, filtered water, and organic lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
⏱️ 2 min
- 8
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The natural sweetness of the berries, enhanced by raw honey, provides antioxidants and natural sugars.
⏱️ 7 min
- 9
To serve, carefully run a thin knife around the edge of each panna cotta. Dip the bottom of each ramekin in warm water for a few seconds to help release, then invert onto a serving plate. Top with a generous spoonful of the organic berry compote, a drizzle of extra raw honey (if desired), and garnish with fresh organic mint leaves.
