I love food, all foods. Dinner food, breakfast food, deserts, etc… And of course I love making cakes for my kids. But when I’m in the mood for a desert for myself I have slightly different tastes! So I wanted to share one of my favorites with you. I shared this last week over at Creations by Kara and now I’m sharing it here! Coconut Panna Cotta! Coconut is one of my all time very favorite ingredients and flavors. And the Italian style custard that is panna cotta is a great medium for coconut flavor!
Coconut Panna cotta
14 oz can coconut milk
14 oz heavy cream
1 C sugar
2 packets gelatin
½ C cold water
1 tsp vanilla
Heat milk, cream and sugar over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Put the gelatin in the cold water and let sit for 5 mins. Add the gelatin mixture to the milk mixture and add the vanilla. Strain and pour into individual ramekins or a 9 inch pie pan. Press plastic wrap down on top so it doesn’t form a skin. Put in the refrigerator until set (overnight), and when your ready serve turn upside down onto a plate. Top with fresh berries and Berry Coulis (I used Oregon blackberries this time).
The texture of this is just right, and it’s such an easy recipe to throw together! Other than the time it takes to set up it’s also quick! And it looks so fancy!
