Keto Grasshopper Panna Cotta
When I was a little girl, my parents often took me to High View, a restaurant in the small town of Medford, Wisconsin, that has Friday night fish fries. There is a cute little lake out in front where my brother and I would fish until our meal came to the table. After dinner, my parents often let us have nonalcoholic grasshopper drinks. The first taste of this creamy dessert took me back to fishing with my little brother at those Friday night fish fries.
In most mint-flavored recipes, the mint is used to infuse flavor, but to get the most benefit from the healing properties of mint, I puree it into this dessert. This also gives the dessert a lovely green color without the need for artificial dyes, such as those used to make crème de menthe so very green.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“I cannot thank Maria Wojcik Emmerich enough for all of her knowledge that she has shared with me. I started my journey on July 16, 2018. I had enough. I went to my Dr.’s and stated that I wanted the bariatric bypass surgery if with me doing KETO did not help. I asked her to give me 6 months. My Dr. agreed. She knew as well as I did that I was not healthy.
So, for the first couple of years I followed KETO, then I was hearing how important reading the ingredients were. Well, from then on I stumbled upon Maria.
Her I sight and knowledge about food was unbelievable. She is truly my inspiration. It works, and I have never been as healthy as I am now. For all of this, Maria, I thank you!!!!“ Michele
