Hooray for easy keto strawberry recipes! This delicious sugar-free panna cotta will have your tastebuds singing. Only 5 ingredients and it takes a few short minutes to make.
We are THIS close to strawberry season here in the Pacific Northwest. I can feel it in my bones. It doesn’t hurt that it’s about 85 degrees right now (yes, in April) and we all have that summer feeling. Everyone is walking around in shorts and light dresses, flip flops and sandals, enjoying this wee bit of warm sunshine before it goes back to the rainy mid-50s. Just in time for the weekend, of course!
But you know what? While it’s still spring, I am ready for keto strawberry recipes already. Once those berries are truly in season, I am sure they will make their way into any number of my low carb cakes and pies. But I am kicking us off with a super simple and utterly delicious Strawberry Panna Cotta. If you’ve never had panna cotta, you need to rectify this immediately. It’s a deceptively simple dessert, easy to make in a few short minutes but it has an elegance that belies its simplicity. You can leave it in the pretty dessert dishes or you can choose to flip it out onto a plate.
How to Make Low Carb Panna Cotta
Panna cotta means “cooked cream” in Italian and it has the consistency of a custard but it’s set with gelatin rather than egg yolks. And it’s not all that “cooked” either. Unlike a custard that you have to stand over, watching carefully until it thickens, panna cotta is gently warmed, just enough to dissolve the gelatin. Done right, panna cotta should be almost barely gelled once it sets. It should be creamy and rich, with a little wobble to it when you dig in your spoon.
But it should also be packed full of flavor, like this keto strawberry panna cotta is. I can’t rave about this easy low carb dessert enough, really. It was fresh and light tasting but also cold and creamy. And at 4g net carbs, it was infinitely satisfying too!

Kim Pitts says
Perfect timing! I have a ton of strawberries to use up!
Kate says
Looks excellent. I’ll bet it would make a great base for a layered jello dessert, with strawberries!
Dorothy says
Is there a substitute for gelatin? Out of it right now.
Carolyn says
No, absolutely no. Gelatin is what makes panna cotta what it is.
Robin says
Carolyn, where can I find grass fed gelatin? Would Knox gelatin work?
Carolyn says
No, knox gelatin requires a different process and it gels more so you’d have to use less. I am not sure how much. this is the gelatin I use and I order it on Amazon or Thrive market. https://amzn.to/2I0LOST

Soooo, I went to Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen just moments ago searching for a panna cotta recipe. The strawberries called my name as I walked by them today in the store. Rats….nothing there! But as serendipity would have it……..a quick trip here yielded me EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you thank you.
Carolyn says
Well clearly we are on the same wavelength!
Sky says
Posted my results over on FB at the Swerve site. Wonderfully delicious and sooooooo easy to make!!! Thanks so much for inspiring 🙂
Carolyn says
Oh so glad you made it!
Karen says
Can’t wait to make these. SOO pretty. Perfect spring/summer dessert. Or breakfast. Or snack. Or – just ‘cuz. Thank you – as usual, no special trip to the store. Have everything to make these already in my kitchen. =))
Janet says
Bought lots of strawberries cause they are cheap here right now. Made your Victoria sponge cake and it was delightful, everybody loves it, but I still have gobs of strawberries to use and voila this simple looking and wonderful sounding recipe appears. Magic! I’ll try it today.
Thanks Carolyn
Amanda says
We had to go dairy free recently so I haven’t tried yet, but could I use coconut milk or coconut cream for this?
Patsy says
Made this for the first time for friends visiting us over the weekend. It was easy to make and delicious.
Katie says
I made this today and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you Carolyn for yet another fabulous and easy-to-make dessert.
Belinda says
Hello, I’m not really familiar with gelatin in recipes and I read not to use Knox. OK, would Now brand Beef Gelatin Powder be the same as the Great Lakes Brand? It’s more affordable to me and I would really love making this Panna Cotta! Thanks!
Carolyn says
Yes, that one should be fine.
Veronica says
It turned out amazing, and so easy to make! I want to try and make it lemon-flavoured next time. I’m thinking to substitute 1 cup strawberries for 1/2 cup lemon juice, a couple of teaspoons lemon zest, and a bit more sweetener. Does it sound like a good idea, or would you suggest other proportions?
