Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml coconut milk (full fat)
- 200 ml almond milk
- 1.5 teaspoons agar agar powder
- 60 ml maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 300 grams mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Sprinkle the agar agar powder evenly over the liquid in the saucepan and whisk to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Once simmering, continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to ensure the agar agar dissolves completely.
Remove from heat and let the mixture slightly cool for a minute, then pour into four small ramekins or dessert molds.
Place the ramekins in the refrigerator and allow the panna cotta to set for at least 3 hours or until firm.
To make the berry sauce, combine mixed berries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the berries release their juices and soften, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the berry mixture along with the lemon juice.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
To serve, run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta and invert onto serving plates. Spoon the berry sauce over the top and garnish with extra berries, if desired.
