Lemon Zucchini Yogurt Panna Cotta
This silken custard built on the cultured yogurt and its bright lemon zucchini fruit swirl sits somewhere between panna cotta and mousse, set with gelatin but tasting like the yogurt itself. It's a smart weeknight dessert when time is short and the pantry is lean, ready in under an hour and waiting in the fridge.

Staples
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream in a cold bowl until soft peaks form, about two minutes, then set aside.
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle 1 teaspoon gelatin over 3 tablespoons water and let it bloom for one minute, then set over low heat and warm gently until the gelatin dissolves, about one minute, stirring once.
- Pour the warm gelatin into one 150 g container of lemon zucchini yogurt along with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 pinch salt, whisking until smooth and the sugar dissolves, about one minute.
