Ingredients
- 400 ml Low fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Agar agar powder
- 3 tablespoons Honey or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0 as desired Fresh berries (for garnish)
- 0 as desired Mint leaves (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the low fat coconut milk, agar agar powder, honey or agave syrup, vanilla extract, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture thoroughly over medium heat to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the agar agar to fully dissolve and activate, which helps the panna cotta set.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Pour the mixture evenly into 4 small ramekins or serving glasses.
Step 6
Allow the panna cotta to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes before transferring them to the refrigerator.
Step 7
Chill the panna cotta in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until fully set and firm.
Step 8
Before serving, loosen the edges with a knife if needed and invert each panna cotta onto a serving plate or serve as-is in the ramekins.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves for an added burst of freshness and color.
