by Camilla Saulsbury, substituting the cream for a combination of fat-free evaporated milk and Greek yogurt. I also divided the recipe in half to make 4 servings instead of 8.
Enlightened Pumpkin Panna Cotta with Berry Sauce
I chose to make a lighter healthier panna cotta which I dubbed “enlightened pumpkin panna cotta” for this month’s Recipe ReDux challenge: “Orange you glad it’s fall?”
My response: “Yes, because that means it’s pumpkin season!” While the markets are bursting with the orange colors of autumn from carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes, my favorite fall food (right after apples) is pumpkin.
In addition to being a tasty versatile addition to a wide range of breads, muffins, soups, salads, pastas and desserts, pumpkin offers plenty of health benefits. With just 49 calories and 3 grams of fiber in each one-cup serving, it can keep you feeling fuller longer on fewer calories. It’s also rich in potassium, Vitamin C and a wide array of anti-oxidants.
