Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp Gelatin powder
- 3 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
- 100 g Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is just about to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm mixture, whisking until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or a bowl with a spout to ensure a smooth consistency.
Pour the mixture evenly into 4 small ramekins or serving glasses. Allow them to cool to room temperature before covering them with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours or until set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with shredded coconut and fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor.
