Vegan Chia Panna Cotta with Berries

This vegan chia panna cotta uses soy milk and chia seeds to create a creamy, gelatin-free dessert that sets in the refrigerator. Vanilla sugar is added for flavor, and it is served with either fresh berries in summer or cooked mixed berry jam in colder months, offering a sweet, fruity contrast to the subtle vanilla and creamy texture of the panna cotta.

Description

The vegan chia panna cotta combines soy milk with chia seeds and vanilla sugar to create a plant-based dessert that thickens without gelatin. Heating half the soy milk nearly to boiling helps soften the chia seeds, which swell as they absorb liquid, forming a pudding-like consistency after refrigerating. The mixture is whisked thoroughly to evenly distribute the seeds and prevent clumping before chilling for at least an hour.

The dish is topped with a berry component, which can be a homemade jam prepared by cooking mixed berries, water, and sugar together or fresh mixed berries in season. This adds a vibrant fruit flavor and balances the creamy texture with tartness and sweetness. The panna cotta can also be baked briefly for a different texture and presentation when set in glass jars.
