Vegan Panna Cotta

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your ramekin dishes by brushing the sides with plain oil

Step 2

Empty the Coconut milk and cream into a pot and give it a good whisk

Step 3

Bring to a simmer and add in the gelatin

Step 4

Continue to simmer and stir constantly for 5-10 minutes until the mixture covers the back of a wooden spoon, and when you run a finger (!) or spoon down the back a trail is left

Step 5

Whisk in the vanilla and Maple Syrup and bring back to a simmer

Step 6

The gelatin should be fully dissolved by this stage,  but I like to strain the liquid before putting into the ramekin dishes in case there are any lumps lurking

Step 7

Pour into the ramekin dishes and allow to cool for 30-40 minutes before putting int he fridge to set

Step 8

Pop the chopped Mango plus a tbsp of sugar in a pot on a low heat and warm up until the fruit becomes soft but not mush. Put to one side to cool. Any fruit would be lovely – strawberries, blueberries or raspberries (but add in another tbsp of sugar if using raspberries). Once cool put on top of the chilled panna cotta

Step 9

If you want to decant the panna cotta just run a knife around the edge, put a plate on top and flip over. Remove the ramekin and put the fruit on top of the panna cotta. We just eat if from the ramekin!
