Ingredients
- 1 14 oz can coconut cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 package unflavored gelatine 1/2 oz total
- 1 15 oz can cream of coconut
- 2 tablespoon agave nectar, simple syrup, or sugar to taste
Instructions
- For the Panna Cotta layer:
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut cream with 1/4 cup of water. Sprinkle 1 package (1/4 oz) gelatin over the coconut cream and let it sit for 5 minutes. Warm the saucepan over low heat and stir, until the gelatin dissolves completely.
- Add the remaining coconut cream and cream of coconut, and cook over medium heat until steam rises, stirring periodically. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and allow to sit for about 20 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into your ramekins or serving cups and chill in the refridgerator for at least 4 hours.
- For the Gelee layer:
- Sprinkle 1 package gelatin (1/4 oz) over 1/2 cup cold pineapple juice, let stand 1 minute. Take other 1/2 cup of pineapple juice and bring it to a boil, add to gelatine mixture and stir thoroughly, until the gelatin dissolves, about 5 minutes. Sweeten to taste, depending on the pineapple juice with agave nectar, sugar, or simple syrup.
- When the coconut panna cotta layer is firm, add a layer of pineapple gelee to each ramekin/serving cup. Return to refridgerator and chill for another 4 hours.
Notes
Coconut cream is not the same as coconut milk.
Coconut cream is produced in a similar fashion, that is, by cooking a combination of shredded coconut with coconut water. However, coconut cream has less water and is thicker in consistency. If you have trouble finding coconut cream, coconut milk can be substituted, however if will not have as rich of a consistency.
Cream of Coconut, ont he other hand, is coconut cream that has been sweetened, and is used in things like pina coladas. My favorite brand for cream of coconut is Coco Lopez.
