Begin by blooming the gelatin. Pour the water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes spongy.
In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the bloomed gelatin. Mix well until the gelatin is fully dissolved into the coconut milk mixture.
Add the vanilla extract and stir until incorporated.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a jug to ensure a smooth texture, removing any undissolved gelatin or clumps.
Pour the strained mixture into four individual serving ramekins or molds.
Allow the panna cotta to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Once the panna cotta is set, garnish each serving with toasted coconut flakes and fresh berries before serving.
