This is a yummy dessert. Especially if you or your dining companion is not into chocolate....few and far between I know!
Panna Cotta means cooked milk and that's what it basically is.
I stole this recipe from BBC Good Food but had to give it the RD touch....don't need all those calories, even for valentine's day. I couldn't do full fat milk per the original recipe and the sugar content was too high.
Here's the lightened version...enough for 4 small ramekins or 2 large ones!
Coconut Panna Cotta
Split a vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds into a saucepan. Add the empty pod along with 1 can coconut milk and 1/2 can (use empty can to measure) low fat milk plus 1/4 cup sugar (I used raw bit use what you have on hand...it's V Day for goodness sake!)
Heat the mixture stirring until warm then whisk in 1 envelope powdered gelatins or add 3 sheets soaked gelatins leaves and stir. DO NOT BOIL! Once lump free add to your ramekins and place in fridge until set...about 2 hours.
To serve run a knife around the edge and invert onto a serving plate. Decorate with choccie sauce or fresh berries and mint leaves or a pineapple salsa with chillies...the options are endless!
