Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml canned full-fat coconut milk
- 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 1.5 tsp agar-agar powder
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and agar-agar powder. Stir well to dissolve the agar-agar powder completely.
Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes to activate the agar-agar.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Pour the mixture evenly into 4 small serving cups or ramekins, and allow them to cool slightly before covering them with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours, or until set and firm.
Once the panna cotta is set, you can serve it directly in the cups or gently run a knife around the edges and invert them onto a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh fruit, berry coulis, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut before serving, if desired.
