Method

Panna Cotta

  1. 1

    Prepare Gelatin

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to bloom.

  2. 2

    Heat Cream and Coconut Milk

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

    Combine Gelatin and Mixture

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin and vanilla extract until fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly.

    Pour the mixture into serving glasses or molds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
