The ketogenic diet is all about feeling your absolute best.

When first transitioning to the diet, it was definitely a learning process. I wanted to be sure that I would be able to enjoy my favorite meals, so I had to teach myself a completely new style of cooking. Over time, I learned what works and what doesn’t.

On the ketogenic diet, carbohydrates are limited, and the focus is transitioning your body from being fueled by glucose to being fueled by ketones, which is done by significantly lessening carb intake and increase the consumption of dietary fat. You see, the body typically uses carbs (in the form of glucose) for energy. When carb consumption is restricted and there isn’t any glucose to run off of, the body turns to fat and instead uses that as its source of energy, thereby producing ketones and putting your body into a state of ketosis. With the ketogenic diet, achieving and maintaining a state of ketosis is important if you want to reap the amazing benefits of this way of eating.

Keto chocolate strawberry panna cotta

Luckily though, it is still VERY possible to enjoy our favorite yummy foods when adopting a ketogenic lifestyle. This chocolate and strawberry panna cotta is the PERFECT example!

Loaded in flavor and VERY low in carbs, this dessert goes to show how possible it is to indulge on this way of eating!

Specific ingredients have been used in this recipe in order to keep it low carb, including unsweetened cocoa powder, gelatin powder, espresso powder, strawberry extract, and Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener. In addition to these ingredients, the cornerstone ingredient in this recipe that creates a lucious, creamy taste and texture: Land O’Lakes Heavy Whipping Cream!

Made with Land O’Lakes Heavy Whipping Cream

One of the ingredients that makes this recipe truly divine is the use of Land O’Lakes Heavy Whipping Cream. Without it, this recipe simply wouldn’t be the same!

Thanks to Land O’Lakes’ delicious take on heavy whipping cream, this recipe is elevated from good to INCREDIBLE. Their heavy whipping cream contains minimal ingredients and virtually no carb content whatsoever!

Second, as if the ingredients weren’t simple and wholesome enough, the Land O’Lakes Heavy Whipping Cream is TOTALLY low carb! It serves as a great source of satiating fat and is a perfect item to incorporate into your everyday diet! I can’t wait for you to enjoy the yummy taste of the panna cotta when incorporated with heavy whipping cream!

To make the deal even sweeter, by supporting Land O’Lakes, you support the community. Land O’Lakes is a proud supporter of food banks across the country and donates dairy products to those in need each and every week. How awesome is that?!

With only 25 minutes of prep and cook time required, this recipe is super quick and easy to whip up! After it is cooked, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for about four hours before enjoying.

Measure and prepare the ingredients for the chocolate strawberry panna cotta.

Pour Land O’Lakes Heavy Whipping Cream into a saucepan over medium heat.

Remove pan from heat and allow mixture to sit at room temperature to cool slightly for 10 minutes.

Whisk mixture thoroughly before pouring mixture into ramekins. Transfer ramekins to refrigerator to chill.

Serve panna cotta chilled with sprinkle of cocoa powder and halved fresh strawberry on top.

      Absolutely! I would decrease the amount of vanilla extract though; you should only need 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Enjoy!
