Island Breeze Pina Colada Panna Cotta
adapted from Ina Garten
Ingredients (makes 4 servings):
- 1 package plain gelatin
- 3 tbs. cold water
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp. coconut extract
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sweetened cream of coconut [NOTE: This is found in the cocktail mixers aisle -- DON'T use unsweetened coconut milk!!]
- 1.5 cups fresh pineapple, chopped into small pieces
- 1/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Ingredients:
Step 1: Add the unflavored gelatin to the chilled water. Stir to combine and set aside. Add the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, and coconut extract to a mixing bowl. Whisk well to completely combine.
Step 2: Place the milk and cream of coconut in a medium non-stick saucepan. Whisk well to completely combine. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer. Add the reserved gelatin to the milk mixture. Whisk briskly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Step 3: Pour the warm milk mixture into the bowl with the yogurt-cream mixture. Whisk well to combine. Carefully ladle the mixture into four ramekins, martini glasses, or wine glasses. Refrigerate uncovered for 2 hours to chill the mixture. Once chilled, top with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours longer.
Step 4: Just before serving, top each panna cotta with a fourth of the pineapple and the flaked coconut. Add a sugar cookie for garnish, if desired.
Y'all...this luscious dessert is like a spoon-able pina colada! The coconut-infused base is light, yet creamy, and not overly sweet. The tartness of the fresh pineapple and shredded coconut on top provides the perfect balance of flavors...and nice texture too. Although you have to plan ahead a bit to make this dessert, the actual prep time to get them ready for the fridge is about 30 minutes. Then, it takes just 5 quick minutes to top them with the pineapple and coconut before serving.
This dessert is ideal for Summer entertaining. It looks impressive and evokes memories of tropical vacations, but it's actually quite simple to make.
