Coconut Passion Fruit Panna Cotta (AIP, Paleo & Low FODMAP Friendly)

What’s Inside: Refreshing, creamy, and satisfying – this easy paleo panna cotta will wow you and any lucky guests you make it for! Plus, it’s AIP-compliant.

Finding desserts that are AIP and Low FODMAP friendly is not always the easiest thing but I’m on a mission to make that a bit easier using simple ingredients and methods. And one of my favorite desserts ever is PANNA COTTA – a thick and creamy-like pudding complete with a fruity topping, which is perfect in warmer weather especially. I also have a vegan version without gelatin you can easily use too (see below).

This recipe is easily adaptable and I encourage you to experiment with toppings! Finding passion fruit might not be easy, but if you can – it’s so worth it. This low sugar and low FODMAP fruit has a delicious floral, sweet and slightly tart taste that works perfectly with the coconut cream. Other great low FODMAP options would be your favorite berries and/or kiwi!

And on the sugar topic, easily use maple syrup or you can use raw honey later (don’t heat it) – I’m also experimenting with some Pure Monk Fruit sweetener which is much sweeter than sugar so a lot goes a long way and it has some great health benefits. I find it has a mild aftertaste (not as much as stevia) and can be nice if you’re avoiding traditional sweeteners, that being said, this dessert doesn’t need much of anything so it’s easy to go either way.
