Perfect for a dinner party centerpiece or a light and refreshing sweet treat, this vegan panna cotta is sure to impress all palates.
In a medium saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk and almond milk. Stir well to mix the two kinds of milk together for a creamy base.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Sprinkle the agar-agar powder evenly over the mixture in the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid any clumping.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, continuing to stir frequently. Allow it to simmer for approximately 3-4 minutes to activate the agar-agar.
Once the mixture has thickened slightly, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Carefully pour the mixture into four ramekins or serving glasses and allow them to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the panna cotta-filled ramekins to the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, remove the panna cotta from the refrigerator and garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves for a vibrant touch.
Serve the vegan vanilla panna cotta chilled and enjoy the creamy, vanilla-infused goodness!
