Lime Panna Cotta

Our version of panna cotta, Italian for "cooked cream," is true to the original with two significant differences. To cut carbs, we used sugar substitute and Atkins Sugar Free Hazelnut Syrup. The dish takes 15 minutes to whip up; the hard part is waiting for it to chill so you can revel in its tangy flavor and creamy texture! Then sprinkle with pistachio nuts and enjoy. To unmold, dip a clean dishtowel in hot water, wring out and wrap around each mold for 15 seconds, then remove. Repeat, if necessary.
