Description

This Coconut Panna Cotta recipe offers a creamy, tropical twist on the classic Italian dessert, featuring rich coconut milk, zesty lime, and a touch of vanilla. Set with gelatin and served chilled, it pairs beautifully with fresh, vibrant fruits for a refreshing and elegant treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Panna Cotta Base

  • 500 g coconut milk
  • 80 g granulated sugar
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 2 teaspoons powdered gelatine (8 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons cold water (30 ml)

To Serve

  • 3-4 passion fruit
  • 150 g fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. Bloom the Gelatin: Pour the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the powdered gelatine over it. Let it sit for a few minutes to fully absorb the water and soften.
  2. Prepare Ramekins: Lightly grease your ramekins with coconut oil to ensure the panna cotta unmolds easily later. Place the ramekins on a small tray for stability.
  3. Heat Coconut Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and lime zest. Heat over medium-low until the sugar dissolves completely, but avoid boiling. Remove from heat once dissolved.
  4. Add Flavor and Gelatin: Stir in the vanilla extract and the bloomed gelatin. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve the gelatin completely. If necessary, return the pan to low heat to ensure the gelatin melts without boiling.
  5. Strain and Pour: Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared ramekins to achieve a silky smooth texture. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set fully.
  6. Unmold the Panna Cotta: To serve unmolded, dip each ramekin halfway in a bowl of hot water for 10-15 seconds. Remove, place a plate on top, and invert gently. Shake slightly to release, and if needed, run a knife around the edges or re-dip in the water.
  7. Serve with Fresh Fruit: Garnish with fresh fruits such as passion fruit and macerated strawberries. You can macerate strawberries with a little sugar to release their juices or add other fruit sauces or coulis for a burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the coconut milk mixture does not boil to avoid curdling or separating.
  • Use a fine-mesh sieve when pouring to ensure the smoothest panna cotta texture.
  • Macerate strawberries by sprinkling with sugar and letting them sit for 10-15 minutes to enhance sweetness and juice.
  • Gelatin must be fully dissolved to avoid grainy texture.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and can be prepared a day ahead.
