Coconut Vanilla Panna Cotta - egg & gelatin free!

Summer desserts are a favourite in our house, as I'm sure they are in yours! What's even better is creating a dessert that takes little effort and can be enjoyed at any time of the day. We recently enjoyed our egg & gelatin free (can also be made dairy free) COCONUT VANILLA PANNA COTTA :)

Here is my version of this delicious sweet treat!
gelatin free egg free panna cotta
Ingredients (for four serves): 1 cup full cream milk, 2 tablespoons coconut powder, quarter cup caster sugar, 2 tablespoons corn flour, drop of vanilla essence, crushed biscuits & butter for a base, fruits for topping.
If making dairy free, replace the full cream milk and coconut powder with just coconut milk.

Make: Make the base by mixing crushed biscuits and melted butter. Prepare serving dishes as shown in photo. In a small bowl, use a few tablespoons of milk/coconut milk and mix in the cornflour - this is to ensure the mixture has no lumps before adding to the heated milk.
Heat the milk on stove top but not boiling, stir in caster sugar then stir in the cornflour and milk mixture. Add vanilla essence and coconut powder (obviously if using coconut milk this is not required). Keep stirring continuously until you feel a thickening consistency. Turn off heat and pour onto the biscuit base. Refrigerate for atleast 1.5 hours to allow the Panna Cotta to set. Top with fruits or nuts and serve chilled :)
Enjoy your egg & gelatin free Coconut Vanilla Panna Cotta!
