How to Make Coconut Panna Cotta

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1/4 ounce (7g) of gelatin over 1/4 cup (60ml) very cold water. Set aside to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. While the gelatin blooms, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.
  3. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is just simmering. Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  5. Divide the coconut mixture evenly among 6 small ramekins or dessert cups.
  6. Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
  7. For serving: Run a thin knife around the edge of each panna cotta before inverting onto plates. (Optional: Briefly dip the ramekins in hot water for easier unmolding).
  8. Top with fresh mango chunks or a simple mango puree (made from one 15-ounce can of mango). Enjoy!
