Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water and let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat over medium-low, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture reaches 120°F (about 5 minutes), without boiling.
  3. Step 3: Remove from heat, stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove zest and lumps.
  4. Step 4: Pour the mixture into 4 individual ramekins, refrigerate for 4 hours until firm.
  5. Step 5: While panna cotta sets, prepare coulis: Simmer 1 cup fresh raspberries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes until berries break down and mixture thickens.
  6. Step 6: Strain coulis through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, cool to room temperature before serving.
