Coconut panna cotta with mixed berries

Coconut panna cotta with mixed berries is a delightful and creamy dessert that's perfect for any occasion. This elegant Italian treat is made with coconut milk and cream, giving it a luscious texture, while a medley of fresh berries provides a vibrant and refreshing burst of flavor. It's a simple yet impressive dessert that will wow your guests.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gelatin:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/2 cup of water. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it blooms (the gelatin granules will absorb the water and become swollen).
2. Heat the Dairy Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, heavy whipping cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling (approximately 5-7 minutes).
3. Incorporate Gelatin:
- Once the cream mixture is hot, remove it from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the saucepan. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
4. Set the Panna Cotta:
- Pour the mixture into serving dishes, such as ramekins or glasses. Allow them to cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the panna cotta is set and has a firm, jiggly texture.
5. Prepare the Mixed Berries:
- While the panna cotta is chilling, prepare the mixed berry topping. Rinse and dry all the berries. Hull and halve the strawberries, leaving the blueberries and raspberries whole.
6. Serve:
- Once the panna cotta is completely set, top each serving with a generous spoonful of mixed berries. Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries artfully for both taste and visual appeal.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve the coconut panna cotta with mixed berries chilled. Optionally, you can garnish with a sprig of mint for a fresh touch.

Tips:

- Hydrate the gelatin: Make sure to properly bloom the gelatin powder in water before adding it to the mixture, to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.

- Use fresh berries: Fresh berries will add a pop of color and freshness to the panna cotta, making it visually appealing and delicious.

- Chill thoroughly: Make sure to chill the panna cotta for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.

- Adjust sweetness: You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference for sweetness. Taste the mixture before pouring it into molds to ensure it’s to your liking.
