Strawberry Coconut Panna Cotta
 
Italian coconut flavoured panna cotta with strawberries.
Ingredients
For panna cotta:
  • 300ml whipping/heavy cream
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • ¾ cups (150g) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon coconut rum (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin
For strawberries:
  • 10 strawberries, chopped into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut rum (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin
Method
Prepare panna cotta:
  1. Pour one tablespoon of the cream into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cream. Bring the rest of the cream, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, and rum to simmer on medium high heat. Once the sugar is dissolved, stir in the gelatin mixture and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, pour it into cups/containers/ramekins and let sit in the fridge overnight.
Prepare strawberries:
  1. Dissolve the tablespoon of gelatin with one tablespoon of water (like you did for the coconut layer). Cook everything on medium-high heat except the gelatin mixture until the strawberries are soft. Stir in the gelatin and let cool for a few minutes. Pour onto the set coconut layer and let sit in the fridge overnight before digging in.
