Instructions

Prepare the Gelatin

Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over the cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes to soften.

Heat the Coconut Milk Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.

Combine Gelatin and Coconut Mixture

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm coconut milk mixture and whisk vigorously until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour and Chill

Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes (ramekins or small glasses work well). Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the panna cotta is set.

Garnish and Serve

Once set, garnish with toasted coconut flakes. Serve chilled.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Coconut Panna Cotta

Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture. Light coconut milk will result in a less rich panna cotta.
Don't overheat the coconut milk mixture; this can cause the gelatin to not set properly. Keep the heat low and stir constantly.
For a more intense coconut flavor, add a tablespoon of toasted coconut flakes to the coconut milk mixture while it’s heating.
Get creative with your garnish! Consider adding fresh berries, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of honey for extra flair.
