NANCY'S MINT PANNA COTTA
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons Da Vinci sugar free syrup, Crème de Menthe flavor
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup Da Vinci sugar free syrup, Crème de Menthe flavor
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 tablespoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda, optional *
2 drops green food coloring
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over the 3 tablespoons syrup; let stand 5 minutes to soften. Bring 1 cup cream to a boil in microwave, watching closely. Add the gelatin and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining cream and syrup, extract, sweetener and food coloring; mix well. Pour into a medium bowl or 6 individual dessert cups. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill at least 3 hours or until set.
Makes 6 servings
Do not freeze
* Nancy found that it wasn't sweet enough for her taste with just the Crème de Menthe syrup so she added a little extra sweetener. Add the sweetener to your own taste.

This is kind of like eating mint ice cream, but not as cold. Using granular Splenda in the amount given will not increase the carbs per serving.
