Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 100 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 50 g Vanilla plant-based protein powder
- 2 tsp Agar-agar powder
- 2 tbsp Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 200 g Fresh berries or fruit of choice
- 10 leaves Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk. Stir in the vanilla plant-based protein powder, whisking until the powder is fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
Add the agar-agar powder to the saucepan and mix thoroughly. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the agar-agar to hydrate properly.
Turn the heat to medium and cook the mixture, stirring constantly. Bring it to a gentle simmer; do not let it boil vigorously as this can affect the texture of the panna cotta.
Add the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the saucepan. Continue to stir and let the mixture simmer for about 3-5 minutes, ensuring the agar-agar powder is completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully pour the mixture into four individual serving molds or ramekins.
Allow the ramekins to cool to room temperature before transferring them to the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Once the panna cotta is fully set, unmold them onto serving plates. If you have difficulty releasing them from the molds, briefly dip the bottom of each mold in hot water and try again.
Garnish the panna cotta with fresh berries or your chosen fruit, and a few mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness before serving.
