Agua de Coco, or coconut water, is a staple in Colombian cuisine and culture. This recipe pays homage to its sweet flavor by incorporating coconut milk and a touch of vanilla.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup cold water (for blooming gelatin)
  • Fresh berries and mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, combine the cold water and unflavored gelatin. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. This will help thicken the coconut panna cotta.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Once the mixture has cooled, add the bloomed gelatin to the coconut mixture. Whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan. This step ensures a smooth and lump-free panna cotta.

  5. 5

    Pour the coconut cream mixture into individual ramekins or dessert cups. Cover them with plastic wrap to avoid skin formation, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.

  6. 6

    To serve, garnish each panna cotta with fresh berries and a sprig of mint. Enjoy the luscious taste and visually stunning presentation of this Colombian Agua de Coco Coconut Panna Cotta!

Chef's Notes

Use high-quality coconut milk for a richer flavor.
