Method

Coconut Panna Cotta

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 4 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

  2. 2

    Heat the Coconut Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.

  3. 3

    Combine Gelatin and Coconut Mixture

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Pour the mixture into individual serving cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Roasted Pineapple

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 5

    Prepare the Pineapple

    Place the sliced pineapple in a baking dish. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the pineapple slices.

  3. 6

    Roast the Pineapple

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until caramelized and tender. Allow to cool slightly.

Candied Fennel

  1. 7

    Make the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 8

    Candy the Fennel

    Add the sliced fennel to the syrup and simmer for about 20 minutes until tender. Remove from syrup and let cool.

Assembly
