In a medium saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk and unsweetened almond milk.
Sprinkle the agar agar powder over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes to hydrate.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking constantly to ensure the agar agar dissolves completely.
Once it reaches a simmer, continue to cook for 2 more minutes to activate the agar agar. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Remove from heat and carefully pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or molds. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Once cool, transfer the panna cotta to the refrigerator and let it set for at least 4 hours or until firm.
For the berry sauce, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the berry mixture, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the berry sauce from heat and let it cool before serving.
To serve, spoon the berry sauce over the set panna cotta and enjoy.
