Gorgeous looking dessert made with coconut milk and topped with berry sauce makes the dish finger licking good. Very easy and quick to make dessert to impress the family and guests.

Flan does not particularly stand out on a dinner table, nor does it get an award for the best looking desert. It’s just a pale yellow and brown custard. However, it disappears first with people wanting more of it. Imagine what if ,along with tasting delicious, also looked appealing. It’s like having an alter ego of flan. Whats  Clark Kent to Superman, Flan is to Panna Cotta.

Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert which mostly contains Gelatin and is made from heavy cream with milk. But making this vegan panna cotta without gelatin and milk is way easier than you think. In this recipe, instead of gelatin we use agar agar which is derivative of plant and instead of heavy cream I have used Coconut Milk.

If you are not vegan and wanna try with whole milk then just replace the coconut milk with heavy cream and milk. I have tried making with different combinations as well. Using equal quantity of coconut milk and milk or using just heavy cream or just milk, combination of heavy milk and milk, doesn’t matter what you use , there is no compromise to the taste.

I have tried many flavors of Panna cotta and by far my favorite is blueberry and strawberry flavors. This is one dessert that can be mould very easily. I love assembling panna cotta in a shot glass for a quick dessert treat , also it’s a great idea for the any party or gathering. So here I am presenting  with my 2 favorite flavors.

 

Meet the ingredients and steps

 

Isn’t making this very easy? Once the Panna cotta is set in the fridge, remove it and add the desired topping to the glasses. If using a mould, transfer it to a plate and add the the topping.

• Options for other flavors of Pan cotta- any berries can be used.
• Chocolate pannacota- Incorporate the chocolate into the panna cotta mix itself instead of vanilla essence and add desired toppings
• If you are not vegan , you can make this by using equal quantity of heavy cream and milk.
• I have tried making this with equal quantity of coconut milk and milk. It still tastes great with mild coconut flavor.
