Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta
Description
Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta blends heavy cream and full-fat Greek yogurt with gelatin to achieve a firm yet creamy dessert. The recipe offers two versions—one with twice the cream to yogurt ratio for a lighter texture, and one with equal parts for a denser finish. Heating cream with sugar and honey dissolves the gelatin, ensuring a smooth set without lumps. The addition of vanilla bean or extract adds gentle aroma and depth. After several hours of chilling, the panna cotta can be served directly in containers or carefully unmolded for a classic presentation.
The dessert's softness contrasts with possible toppings such as honey, fresh berries, or salted caramel, allowing customization to taste. Its lightly sweet, creamy profile and the subtle tang from Greek yogurt create a nuanced finish that offers richness without heaviness.
Using full-fat Greek yogurt is recommended to retain creaminess and texture. The recipe instructions emphasize dissolving the gelatin well and chilling adequately to form the proper set. This panna cotta provides a versatile canvas for various garnishes, making it suitable for individual servings at gatherings or as a refined treat to conclude a meal.

1 to 1 Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta Recipe:
- 1 Tablespoon gelatin
- 3 Tablespoons water
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 vanilla bean or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping Ideas:

Instructions
- Place gelatin in small bowl and sprinkle water over gelatin. Stir and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream, sugar, and honey over medium heat until it begins to simmer and sugar is dissolved. Do not let it come to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin mixture. Whisk until gelatin dissolves.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt and remaining 1 cup of heavy cream.
- Stir yogurt mixture and heated cream sugar together until creamy. Add vanilla beans or vanilla extract and stir.
- Pour into jars, glasses, ramekins, or dishes. Place in refrigerator, covered, for 4-5 hours, or until set.
- You may serve panna cotta in glasses or may invert it onto a plate. To invert on a plate, run a sharp knife along edges to release. If the panna cotta isn't coming out, carefully place ramekin in hot water and it will slide right out.
- Top with honey, fresh fruits, nuts, caramel, homemade jam, or whatever you desire.
Notes
- Full-fat Greek yogurt ensures optimal creaminess and texture in the panna cotta.
