  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with lighter alternatives.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ teaspoons gelatin powder One packet.
  • 3 tablespoons cold water For blooming the gelatin.
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of cold water with 2 ½ teaspoons of gelatin powder and let sit for 5–10 minutes to bloom.
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves; do not boil.
  • Remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Whisk until fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into ramekins or serving glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Serving

  • To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate, or serve directly in the glass. Garnish as desired.

Notes

Store any leftover Coconut Panna Cotta in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it covered to prevent odors from affecting its flavor. Make sure to bloom the gelatin properly for the right texture. Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer taste and ensure the mixture does not boil. For a fruity twist, add pureed mango or passion fruit before pouring.
