Instructions

Prepare the gelatin by taking a small bowl and filling it with 3 tbsp of cold water, then sprinkling the gelatin over it – let it sit for 5-10 minutes or until it becomes spongy.
Meanwhile, take a saucepan and combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, and sugar in it, then heat it over medium heat while stirring occasionally – make sure the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot coconut milk mixture, while you’re stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved – then remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the Panna Cotta mixture cool off for a few minutes at room temperature before pouring it into ramekins or dessert bowls.
Put the Panna Cotta into the refrigerator and leave it there for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results – it should be firm to touch but still wobbly when it’s set.
(Optional): If you plan to unmold the Panna Cotta, dip a knife briefly into hot water and run it around the edges of the ramekins or dessert bowl – you can also gently shake it to release.

Finally, garnish with some fresh berries, tropical fruits, or some coconut flakes and enjoy!
