This amazing dairy-free almond milk panna cotta recipe was originally shared with us by Helene of Tartelette. She no longer blogs regularly, but still works as an amazing food photographer. Helene wasn’t dairy-free when she created this recipe, but loved the light nuttiness that almond milk added to this classic Italian dessert. She said the taste and texture could fool the biggest dairy lover (including herself!).
We originally posted this recipe many, many years ago, but have given the post a big refresh. It’s a wonderful no-bake dessert that has a pretty presentation for gatherings, but is simple enough to make for any day cravings. This dairy-free almond milk panna cotta is also a delicious way to showcase seasonal berries. And you can change up the berries. Strawberries are a delicious, easy to find option.

Can you clarify whether the almond milk beverage means the kind that comes unrefrigerated in a box or the refrigerated kind that usually has more ingredients?
Can’t wait to give this a try.
Either is fine. Homemade works too. The ingredients usually depend more on the brand and type than whether it is refrigerated. Also, refrigerated versions are often fortified with more vitamins (I’m not really sure why). But fortification doesn’t effect results in this case. It’s more a matter of personal dietary choice.
