Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Low fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Agar agar powder
- 3 tablespoons Honey or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 pinch Salt
- as desired Fresh berries (for garnish)
- as desired Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the low fat coconut milk, agar agar powder, honey or agave syrup, vanilla extract, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly over medium heat to ensure everything is well combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the agar agar to fully dissolve and activate, which helps the panna cotta set.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the mixture evenly into 4 small ramekins or serving glasses.
Allow the panna cotta to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes before transferring them to the refrigerator.
Chill the panna cotta in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until fully set and firm.
Before serving, loosen the edges with a knife if needed and invert each panna cotta onto a serving plate or serve as-is in the ramekins.
Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves for an added burst of freshness and color.
