Why Make Panna Cotta with Gelatin?
Traditional panna cotta is thickened with gelatin, which not only gives it that melt-in-your-mouth texture but also adds a nutritional boost. Goose Goods gelatin is packed with amino acids that support healthy skin, hair, nails and digestion. Think of this as a dessert that loves you back.
Plus, unlike other heavy desserts, this coconut milk panna cotta is dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and light enough to enjoy after any meal.
How This Dessert Supports Skin + Hormones
✨ For Skin Health
Gelatin is derived from collagen, the most abundant protein in your skin. Adding Goose Goods gelatin to your diet helps provide the amino acids your body needs to maintain skin elasticity, hydration, and repair. That means fewer fine lines, a stronger skin barrier, and a natural glow from the inside out.
✨ For Hormone Support
Healthy hormones depend on two things: stable blood sugar and nourishing fats. This panna cotta uses maple syrup (a natural sweetener with minerals) paired with protein-rich gelatin, which helps slow sugar absorption and keeps energy steady. Coconut milk is rich in healthy saturated fats that are essential for hormone production and balance.
Together, this recipe creates a dessert that feels indulgent while actually supporting your body’s natural rhythms.
