How to Make the Best Pumpkin Panna Cotta
Pumpkin panna cotta is the perfect elegant dessert to embrace the fall season. This silky Italian custard combines the warm spice of cinnamon and nutmeg with creamy pumpkin puree, creating a dessert that’s both sophisticated and comforting. Unlike traditional pumpkin pie, this no-bake version is incredibly light and pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
The beauty of panna cotta lies in its simplicity—just a handful of ingredients and minimal cooking time transform into a show-stopping dessert that tastes far more complicated than it actually is. The gelatin sets the custard to a perfect creamy texture without being rubbery, while the pumpkin and warm spices make it feel like fall in every spoonful.
Prepare these individual ramekins ahead of time for easy entertaining. Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor, and serve straight from the fridge for a refreshing contrast to the warm autumn spices.

Instructions
- In a large sauce pan, sprinkle the envelope of gelatin over 1/2 cup of the milk. Let sit while preparing remaining ingredients, about 5 minutes.
- In a food processor or blender, combine remaining ingredients and puree until smooth.
- Heat the milk and gelatin mixture on low, occasionally stirring, until gelatin dissolves. Milk will almost appear curdled at first, but as gelatin dissolves it will smooth.
- Add pumpkin mix to the sauce pan and bring heat to medium. Stirring occasionally, cook until the liquid starts to steam.
- Remove the pan from the heat and pour into prepared ramekins.
- Chill ramekins in the fridge for at least 4 hours, overnight for best results.
