Lingonberry Panna Cotta is a creamy and indulgent dessert that you will hate to see it disappear. As a matter of fact, it will have you savoring the flavor and creamy texture with each and every delectable bite. In fact, Lingonberries grow abundantly in Sweden and even make their appearance on the Christmas table in Sweden. As a matter of fact, this recipe is vegan, dairy-free, refined sugar-free and grain-free. Not to mention it is the perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day. Why not spoil your special someone tonight with this delectable dessert?

Incredibly, this recipe makes me feel closer to my Swedish roots. Not to mention that the hardest thing about this recipe is waiting for it to set up in the fridge.

Notes:

Needless to say, the Lingonberry Panna Cotta recipe is a creation to give tribute to the lingonberry and Sweden as I am a first-generation American. Since I grew up with a Swedish mom meant that I was privileged enough to grow up with Swedish foods, traditions, customs, and cultural experiences. Yep, I grew up attending Midsummer Festivals, Sankta Lucia (Santa Lucia to Italians), the Jul Tomte at Christmastime.

Indeed, all these experiences helped to make me who I am. I grew up reading the stories of Snipp, Snapp, Snorr and Pippi Longstocking as well as other traditional Swedish authors. If you are unfamiliar with these stories then I highly suggest you go to the library and check them out as many libraries have them in English.

Lingonberries grow wild in Sweden. You can purchase Lingonberry jam at IKEA. The jam you purchase at IKEA has refined sugar in it. Which means I have to make my own without refined sugar. Awesome thing is that you can purchase lingonberries online at Northwest Wild Foods. The berries are expensive but allow me to be true to my Swedish roots. I made this recipe because Panna Cotta is my daughter’s favorite dessert. I was craving a taste of Sweden. Agar agar is a vegan substitute for unflavored gelatin. It can be found here. Monk Fruit Sweetener and Full Fat Coconut Milk can be found at Amazon.

Lingonberry Panna Cotta Notes:

In fact, this recipe could also be made pink for Valentine’s Day simply by not thoroughly stirring in the lingonberries thus giving it a swirled look. However, the lingonberry flavor may be lessened.

Goes well as a dessert with my Keto Swedish Salmon
