Ingredients

Vanilla Layer

  • 1 ½ cups (375 ml) Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • ½ cup (100 g) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 packets unflavored gelatin powder about ¼ ounce each
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Cherry Layer

  • 1 cup (250 ml) Pureed fresh Sweet Cherries pit removed (2 cups fresh cherries should equal one cup puree)
  • 1 ½ cups (375 ml) Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • ½ cup (100 g) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 packets unflavored gelatin powder about ¼ ounce each
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare Mold with a light mist of cooking spray.

Make Vanilla Layer first.

  • Combine coconut milk, sugar, and gelatin in a medium sauce pan. Give a gently stir with a whisk and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to "bloom" (soften).
  • Heat the mixture over low heat, occasionally stirring until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. (5-10 min) DO NOT bring to a boil.
  • Remove mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Let cool for about 5 minutes and transfer to a pouring container.
  • Divide the vanilla liquid evenly amongst the 6 containers filling only halfway.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hrs until the panna cotta is set.

Make the Cherry Layer.

  • Puree pitted cherries in a blender. (2 cups fresh cherries should equal one cup puree)
  • Combine coconut milk, sugar, and gelatin in a medium sauce pan. Give a gently stir with a whisk and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to "bloom" (soften).
  • Heat the mixture over low heat, occasionally stirring until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. (5-10 min) DO NOT bring to a boil.
  • Remove mixture from heat and stir in the cherry puree and vanilla.
  • Let cool for about 5 minutes and transfer to a pouring container.
  • Divide the cherry liquid evenly amongst the 6 containers, pouting on top of the set vanilla layer until the mold is full.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hrs until the panna cotta is set.
  • Remove set Panna Cotta from fridge.
  • Gently pull custard from edges of mold and invert onto serving dish!
  • (Sit molds in shallow pan of warm not hot water for 10 seconds if they are not easily removed from molds by fingers.)

Notes
