Coconut Panna Cotta With Pineapple Salsa Recipes

COCONUT PANNA COTTA WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Pour the coconut milk and milk into a saucepan, then add the sugar. Split the vanilla pod in half and scrape out the seeds, then add to the pan with the empty pod. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 5 mins.
• Spoon 200ml of the hot mixture into a small bowl. Shake over the gelatine and whisk into the mixture until dissolved. If you have difficulty dissolving the gelatine, return the mixture to a gentle heat for 1-2 mins. See know-how below).Stir into the rest of the coconut mixture, discarding the vanilla pod. Pour into 6 x 200ml metal dariole moulds and place in the fridge for at least 2 hrs until firm with a slight wobble. Can be made up to 2 days ahead.
• For the salsa, tip the sugar and ginger slices into a small saucepan and pour over 100ml water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for another 5-10 mins until it turns slightly syrupy and light golden. Leave to cool, then discard the ginger slices. The syrup can be made up to 1 week in advance.
• To serve, dip each dariole mould into boiling water for a moment to loosen the panna cotta, then turn onto a serving late. Arrange the sliced pineapple beside each panna cotta and scatter with chopped chilli. Drizzle with ginger syrup to finish.

COCONUT PANNA COTTA

Steps:

• Pour ¼ cup coconut milk into a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin powder on top. Let stand until softened, about 1 minute.
• Combine remaining coconut milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook and whisk constantly without simmering for 3 minutes. Add coconut flour. Continue cooking over low heat while stirring until smooth and lump free, 7 minutes longer.
• Add gelatin mixture to the cream mixture and whisk vigorously to dissolve gelatin. Remove from heat and pass mixture through a fine sieve.
• Wet an aluminum panna cotta mold with water and pour in cream mixture; wetting the mold first makes it easier to unmold later. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• Flip panna cotta onto a serving plate, carefully unmold, and sprinkle the top with some coconut.
