Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 tsp gelatin powder over 3 tbsp cold water and let bloom for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup coconut cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla bean paste. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling (about 5 minutes).
- Step 3: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
- Step 4: Pour the mixture evenly into 6 small serving glasses or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Step 5: To make the raspberry glaze, puree 1 cup fresh raspberries with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp lime juice until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
- Step 6: Once panna cotta is set, spoon the raspberry glaze over the top and sprinkle with 1/4 cup toasted desiccated coconut before serving.
