What is Collagen Protein?
We believe that whole-food based nutrition containing collagen is essential for one's overall health, fitness and wellbeing. However, our bodies require an abundant amount of collagen and modern food processing has removed this natural, healthy nutrient. Supplementing our diet to ensure that our bodies are enriched with collagen is an important key to good health and a full life.
Vital Proteins' Beef Gelatin is sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine hides to ensure a natural, high quality, and sustainable source of this ancient nutrient. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body ensuring the health and vitality of your skin, hair, tendon, cartilage, bones and joints. Our gelatin aids in digestion and overall gut health and is ideal for adding to bone broths, foods, coffee, and other hot drinks. It can also be used in cold liquids as a thickener or gel.
Collagen Protein Benefits:
• promotes youthful skin, healthier hair and stronger nails

• helps keep bones healthy & strong
• supports joint health

Coconut Panna Cotta With Hibiscus Syrup
Panna cotta is the thick, creamy Italian dessert comparable to Latin flan or French crème brûlée. Unlike the richness of a custard dessert, panna cotta is delightfully light and versatile in flavor. Start with a creamy base of coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream. After heating the milk mixture, let it cool and stiffen in several small ramekins. The petite panna cottas pop out of their molds and present beautifully with a drizzle of deep red hibiscus syrup and a scattering of dried hibiscus flowers.
Coconut Panna Cotta With Hibiscus Syrup
Panna Cotta Mixture
- 1 (13.5 oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 tsp. Himalayan pink salt (fine)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. organic cornstarch or arrowroot
- 2-1/2 tsp. gelatin (unflavored)
Hibiscus Simple Syrup
- 1/4 cup organic hibiscus flowers
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 lime (juiced)
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1-1/2 - 2 tsp. cornstarch or arrowroot starch or flour
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cinnamon stick
- In heavy saucepan, combine coconut milk, condensed milk and heavy cream. Add salt, vanilla and cornstarch or arrowroot. Stir together and heat to simmer.
- While milk mixture heats, combine gelatin with 4 Tbsp. water or milk in small bowl. Let rest 1 minute.
- When milk mixture comes to a simmer, remove from heat and stir in gelatin. (Note: Texture should be smooth and velvety.)
- Fill 6-8 ramekins or small dessert bowls with mixture and set aside to cool.
- To make hibiscus syrup, bring all ingredients to boil in saucepan. When mixture thickens, remove from heat.
- Using strainer to remove hibiscus flowers and cinnamon stick, pour syrup into storage container. Refrigerate until panna cotta is ready to serve.
- Using beeswax wrap or plastic wrap, cover ramekins and refrigerate 2-3 hours for soft consistency or 4-5 hours for firmer consistency.
- To serve, carefully remove panna cotta from ramekin, drizzle on hibiscus syrup and sprinkle with dried hibiscus flowers.
- For a sweeter syrup, use 1/3 cup light brown sugar.
