Description

This easy 3 Ingredient Panna Cotta combines creamy coconut milk, sweet sugar, and smooth cornstarch to create a velvety, dairy-free dessert that sets perfectly in the fridge. Ready in just 10 minutes of active cooking plus chilling time, this panna cotta is a simple, elegant treat that can be served plain or garnished with fresh berries or jam.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (16 fl oz) unsweetened drinking coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated white sugar
  • 3 tbsp (25g) cornstarch


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Continuously whisk every few seconds to prevent sticking and scorching. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble evenly across the surface, signaling it is ready. Note that it will remain thin initially and thicken only towards the end of the cooking time.
  3. Pour and Chill: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour the thickened mixture into ramekins, heatproof cups, bowls, or molds. Allow it to cool slightly at room temperature, then cover and place in the refrigerator to set for around 3 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. Unmold and Serve: Once fully set, gently flip each ramekin upside down onto small plates to unmold the panna cotta. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or a spoonful of jam before serving.
  5. Storage: Store any uneaten panna cotta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Ensure to whisk continuously during cooking to prevent lumps and sticking.
  • Use unsweetened coconut milk for a natural coconut flavor without added sweetness.
  • Chilling time is crucial for proper setting; do not rush this step.
  • For an extra touch, try garnishing with fresh fruit, berry coulis, or a drizzle of honey if not strictly vegan.
  • This recipe is dairy-free and vegan friendly.
