This might come as a surprise, but I’ve never eaten or made panna cotta up until this past weekend. Crazy, I know! After hearing about a yummy recipe from one of my favorite dessert gals, I thought it was time to give this recipe a try. I enjoy being adventurous in the kitchen so this was definitely something to test my culinary skills.

Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert that is essentially thickened and chilled cream. The consistency is somewhat a cross between cream brulee, pudding and cheesecake. To make this panna cotta I used Silk Vanilla Coconutmilk instead of traditional milk. The benefit of using this vs traditional cream is that it’s already sweetened, making the panna cotta just a tad more simple. We infused mint & topped with a brown sugar pineapple compote.
This dessert would make the perfect single serve item for a St. Patricks Day party. It just so happens that the gold and green hues of this novelty fit the St. Patty’s theme.

Pineapple Mint Panna Cotta
Panna Cotta
Ingredients: Silk Vanilla Coconutmilk , 1 packet of regular gelatin and 6 mint leaves.
Instructions: Dissolve 1 packet of gelatin in 2 cups of Silk Vanilla Coconutmilk & mix thoroughly. In a sauce pan combine coconut silk, chopped mint leaves and heat coconut silk slightly until you see steam rising from the milk. It is very important to not overheat, or the milk will separate during the cooling stage. Divide the mixture evenly into glassware and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes and then move to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Top panna cotta with the pineapple compote and garnish with a sprig of mint.
