Calories: 399kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup water
- 1 ½ teaspoons gelatin
- 13.5 ounces coconut cream canned
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup strawberries for serving
Instructions
- Combine the cool water and gelatin in a large bowl, stirring well. Allow it to rest while you proceed to the next step.
- Combine the coconut cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat.
- Pour a small portion of the hot coconut mixture over the bloomed gelatin, whisking until smooth. Gradually add the remaining coconut mixture, whisking thoroughly.
- Divide the liquid among 4 small bowls.
- Place the bowls on a flat shelf in the fridge and let them chill until firm, approximately 6 hours or overnight.
- Serve the chilled panna cotta directly in the bowls with fresh fruit for a simple presentation. Alternatively, release the panna cotta from the bowls by placing each bowl in a shallow dish of hot tap water for 30 to 60 seconds to loosen it. Then, invert the bowl onto a serving plate, tap the bottom of the bowl, and release the panna cotta. Serve chilled immediately with fresh fruit on top.
Notes
When combining the water and gelatin, it is best to sprinkle the gelatin over the water first to soften so that clumps don’t start to form.
Don’t whisk the mixture too hard. Whisk lightly until everything is incorporated so to avoid air bubbles in the coconut mixture.
Spray ramekins with cooking spray or lightly grease with coconut oil. This guarantees the panna cotta can easily come out and will not fall apart in the ramekin.
Use a sieve to pour mixture into ramekins. This is optional but can ensure the panna cottas texture will be silky smooth.
Release the coconut panna cotta. To make releasing the panna cotta easier, place the bowl in a shallow dish of hot water for 30 to 60 seconds to help loosen it up. Then, invert the bowl onto a serving plate, tap the bottom of the bowl and release the coconut panna cotta.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
