Ingredients
For the Coconut Panna Cotta
- 1 cup Coconut Milk thick
- 3 tbsp Sugar granulated
- 100 grams Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp Gelatin Powder bloom gelatin in 2 tablespoons of cold water before adding.
Instructions
Prepare the Orange Reduction
- Combine orange juice, zest, honey, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Blend until smooth for a perfectly refined sauce.
Make the Coconut Panna Cotta
- Combine coconut milk and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth. Gently whisk in the coconut mixture.
- Bloom the gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of cold water for 5 minutes. Add the bloomed gelatin to the yogurt mixture and stir well to combine.
- Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Serve
- Gently spoon the orange reduction over the chilled panna cotta before serving. Garnish as desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Panna Cotta:
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture. Light coconut milk will result in a thinner panna cotta.
- Don't boil the coconut milk mixture; gentle heating is key to prevent curdling.
- Blooming the gelatin ensures it dissolves completely, preventing lumps in your panna cotta.
- For a more intense orange flavor, use blood oranges. You can also substitute the orange reduction with any other fruit sauce or even a simple chocolate ganache.
