Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
- 1 (15-ounce) can coconut cream (recommended: Coco Loco)
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
- 2 cups chilled heavy cream
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- Assorted tropical fruits, such as: kiwi, mango, and papaya, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice, for garnish (about 1 1/2 cups total)
Directions
Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over 3 tablespoons of cool water in a small bowl. Set aside to soften.
In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut cream and coconut milk over medium heat until the sides begin to bubble. Lower the heat and whisk in the softened gelatin, stirring to make sure it is completely dissolved.
Fill a large bowl with cold water. Strain the coconut mixture into a bowl that will fit easily into the bowl of water. Set into the bowl of water to cool, stirring every few minutes with a rubber spatula until the mixture starts to thicken. If the mixture starts to set, remove it immediately.
Remove the bowl of coconut mixture from the bowl of water. Empty out the water and wipe the bowl dry. In the dry bowl, stir the cream and confectioners' sugar together until the sugar is dissolved. Stir into the coconut mixture. Divide the coconut mixture evenly among 6 (7 to 8-ounce) custard cups or ramekins. Chill until firm, at least 4 hours.
To serve, run a knife around the inside edge of the molds and invert each panna cotta onto a serving plate. Spoon some of the diced fruit over each, allowing the fruit to spill onto the plate.

Words cannot describe. . . I crave this daily. . .
Seriously delicious. Pretty easy to make. I didn't have ramekins, but I made them in bowls and I don't think they set properly. More than likely that was due to my error.

What a fantastic dessert! I made it for a family dinner party and everyone loved it, I was even asked for the recipe! Next time I'll make the servings half the size, however, because it was a bit heavy. Made it with 2 tbs of gelatin as suggested by other reviewers and it turned out fine. The mango coulis I used in place of the tropical fruit went wonderfully with it.

this is a terrific recipe for a light dinner---a little exotic and fun. i do think that doubling the gelatin helps. i miss
Daisy and Ingrid Hoffman. i am so sick of southern fried, chicken fried, ultra fried with grits and barbecued/grilled everything.
