I baked this Vegan Panna Cotta for my niece’s birthday party last weekend. The cream set silky and smooth, and my sister liked it.
Creamy Vegan Panna Cotta Dessert
This vegan panna cotta features a luscious coconut milk base, infused with vanilla for flavor and set with agar-agar to achieve the desired creamy texture. The recipe is simple and takes about 2 hours to chill, serving 4-6 people.
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon agar-agar powder
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh berries or fruit for topping (optional)
- Chocolate sauce or berry coulis for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, agar-agar powder, and salt.
- Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the agar-agar is completely dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer (do not boil). This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour and Set: Remove from heat and pour the mixture into individual serving cups or ramekins. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
- Chill: Transfer the panna cotta to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve: Once the panna cotta has set, remove from the refrigerator and top with fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or berry coulis if desired. Serve chilled.
