1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/4 tsp unflavored gelatin powder 1/4 cup cold water Toasted coconut flakes, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, coconut milk, and sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin evenly over the cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes until softened. Then, stir the gelatin into the cream mixture until fully dissolved. Add vanilla extract and whisk well.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or pitcher. Divide the mixture evenly among two ramekins or dessert glasses, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
When ready to serve, garnish with toasted coconut flakes. Enjoy the tropical island escape with every bite!
Chef’s Insight
