This is one of my all time favorite desserts.  And one of the few that doesn’t have ANY CHOCOLATE in it  (This and my sour cream lemon pie recipe).  Even my “I don’t like sweets” husband LOVES this dessert.  It has a great light feel, with a great, not too strong, flavor, but I could eat the whole pan in one sitting.  It goes GREAT paired with fresh berries and my Berry Coulis recipe.

This Coconut Panna Cotta is not only beautiful, but it is divine. Easy to make with a subtle flavor and amazing texture it is a hit with everyone who tries it

I’ve always loved panna cotta as a dessert.  It’s not my typical heavy flourless dark chocolate cake craving, but there is just something about it that I delight in.  Maybe it’s because I love the creamy texture, and subtle flavor.  It kind of creeps up on you, how amazing it is.  I have been wanting to try a few other panna cotta recipes, but every time I’m craving one I go straight for this easy, favorite recipe!

One of my most requested desserts, this coconut panna cotta is easy to make, with an amazing texture and perfectly balanced flavor.

In the video you’ll notice that the coconut milk I used is pretty thin, it was a different brand than I normally use and as a result the panna cotta separated a bit. You’ll want to go for a higher fat content in your coconut milk to keep it from separating. It tastes great either way, but it does effect the texture.

Panna Cotta is a mix between creamy putting and stable jello, the perfect texture and flavor this coconut version with blackberries and berry coulis is always a huge hit

It’s hard to mess this recipe up, it’s so easy, BUT I have done it, twice now.  Once I forgot to strain it, and while it still tastes fine, the texture isn’t quite right, it isn’t as smooth, so DON’T forget that step.  And the last time I made it I didn’t put it right in the fridge and it separated before setting, it had a too strong thick coconut top with a flavorless gelatin below, it wasn’t good.  So make sure to cover and refrigerate right away!

blackberries, raspberries, and a berry coulis are the perfect topping and balance for this elevated dessert. this coconut panna cotta has an amazing texture and flavor that everyone loves

Because it holds it’s shape it’s great for cute molds you might have. Like how amazing would this be in a small 1 serving size heart mold with this gorgeous sauce for Valentines day?  I am SOO looking for the perfect heart molds right now!

Do you have a favorite panna cotta recipe I should try? I’ve been debating a pistachio or grapefruit… I sense recipe testing coming up!

one of my all time favorite desserts is this coconut panna cotta. A smooth creamy texture with amazing coconut flavor, served with a raspberry and blackberry coulis it never lasts long
