Orange Panna Cotta

Cooked "Cream"

Traditionally made with eggs, this classic dessert is a fat and cholesterol minefield. By using gelatin instead, we lower the fat and cholesterol without sacrificing flavor.

Makes 4 servings

2 cups lowfat (1%) milk

1/4 ounce unflavored gelatin (1 envelope)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon orange extract

1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Pinch salt

1/2 cup frozen light whipped topping (10   calories per tablespoon)

Ground cinnamon

In a medium nonstick saucepan, combine the milk and gelatin; let stand about 5 minutes, until the gelatin softens. Place the milk mixture over low heat, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, vanilla and orange extracts, zest and salt; bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Pour evenly into four 1/2-cup ramekins. Cool slightly; refrigerate, covered, overnight. To serve, top each with 2 tablespoons whipped topping and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
