Avocado Panna Cotta

This lower calorie version of this creamy Italian dessert takes advantage of the tremendous health benefits of using creamy avocado for silky texture and beautiful pale green color. The presentation is up to each cook to serve his or her guests in single decorated molds a or cut into slices on serving plate. Traditionally, this dessert is only served individually with fresh fruit and Greek yogurt garnishing on top. Including avocado into the daily diet is a wise choice, especially for women.
Ingredients:
2 ripened avocados*
2 cups soy milk
3 cups skim milk
1/4 cup sugar or honey
2 tbs lime sauce
2 tsp agar powder or 3 tsp unflavored gelatin
1 tsp vanila
Directions:
Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Scoop out fruit and place into a Magic Bullet machine or other blender. Add 1 cup soy milk and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a simmer. Stir to dissolve the agar powder and sugar. Add avocado mixture to milk mixture and mix well. Pour into individual molds or serving dish. Cover tops with plastic wrap and chill for several hours or overnight. Serve with fresh fruit.
