Strawberry Coconut Panna Cotta Recipe
Directions
1. Dab unflavored oil (like vegetable oil) onto a paper towel and rub the inside of your intended
container (ramekin/glass, etc.)
2. Dice or chop strawberries
3. Blend until smooth
4. Sieve to get some of the seeds out (they make the panna cotta less pretty) but you can leave
them in if you want)
5. “Bloom” 11g silver gelatin by placing in a bowl of cold water. If using Knox Gelatin powder, use
directions on package to bloom
6. Place medium saucepan on medium heat (I used 6/10 on my electric stove)
7. Add in and stir:
a. 2 cups whipping cream
b. 0.5 cups lite coconut milk/regular milk
c. 1/3 cup sugar
d. 1/8tsp coconut extract or vanilla extract
e. 6 Tbs Strawberry Compote
you can add more or less to taste. I wanted a subtle strawberry flavor sharing with
the coconut so it wouldn’t mask it. But if you’re using vanilla and want more
strawberry you can easily up the strawberry.*
8. Wait for mixture to “simmer”
a. Unlike in water, this doesn’t mean a slow boil, it means to watch for vapors to start
rising from the liquid, which can be very subtle so keep an eye on it. It might take 5-10
minutes
9. Once simmering, use hand to strain excess water from gelatin & add to pot until dissolved
10. Ladle into containers of your choice.
ramekins, aluminum molds, wine glasses, cups.
11. Refrigerate 4+ hours, covered.
the longer you keep it in the fridge the more firm it will be.
*Note: Sugar activates gelatin, so the more compote you add the more you risk making it like jello rather
than the soft, fluffy panna cotta. Something you may not need to worry about but I just wanted to be
careful of that when I was making the recipe cause I wanted to prioritize the texture, since I’ve made
some pretty firm panna cottas that were less satisfying.
To Serve:
1. If using a mold, place in warm/hot water for 5-10 seconds and flip it over and tap on plate to
release panna cotta.
2. Dress it up with whatever you like – Belgian butter waffle biscuits, chocolate sauce, sliced
strawberries, blended pistachio crumble (I used salted pistachios, blended, then added sugar to
taste), etc. You can try substituting the components of the recipe for different flavors –
blueberry, peach, etc.
