The recipe below is part of a healthy and delicious spa menu developed exclusively for Epicurious by Ananda spa in India. While the recipe is not low in calories or fat, almost anyone can fit this dessert into a healthy diet by taking small servings of the panna cotta and sabayon and upping the portion of the antioxidant-rich berries. If you are following an Ayurvedic diet, the experts at Ananda recommend this for the _vata dosha_, and in moderation for the _pitta dosha_.

03Divide mixture among ramekins and refrigerate until set, at least 8 hours or overnight.
04In medium bowl, using electric mixer or whisk, beat cream until stiff peaks form.
05In large nonreactive metal bowl, using electric mixer or whisk, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until light and pale yellow, about 1 minute. Set bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water and whisk in wine. Cook, whisking constantly and being careful not to let mixture steam, until mixture thickens and instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 140°F, about 5 minutes.
06Remove bowl from saucepan and continue to whisk until mixture cools, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in orange liqueur, then gently fold in whipped cream.
07Using thin sharp knife, cut around inside edge of each ramekin to loosen. Dip bottom of 1 ramekin into bowl of very warm water 6 seconds. Place dessert plate upside-down atop ramekin and invert, gently lifting off ramekin to allow panna cotta to settle onto plate. Repeat to unmold remaining panna cottas.
08Arrange berries atop and around each panna cotta and spoon sabayon over berries. If desired, use kitchen blowtorch to lightly brown sabayon and serve immediately.
