- 2.5 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Fresh berries

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin with 0.25 cup of cold water. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Add the granulated sugar to the hot coconut milk and cream mixture, and stir until fully dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot coconut mixture and whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture into six ramekins or small glasses, leaving some space at the top for toppings if desired.
Let the panna cotta cool to room temperature before covering each ramekin with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, top each panna cotta with fresh berries and garnish with mint leaves.
