Recipes that require a 2-3hour cooling time USUALLY get overlooked because, let’s be real, no-one likes waiting for food especially when you’ve already spent 2-3 hours actually preparing and cooking it! This matcha and coconut panna cotta recipe though, is worth every second of waiting time because it’s just THAT good!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup thick coconut cream
- 1- 1 1/4 tsp gelatin
- 2 Tbsp water
- Stevia or your preferred sweetener to taste
- 1- 1 1/2 tsp organic green tea powder (matcha)
- 1/2- 1 tsp vanilla
- Optional Add Ins; quality food-grade peppermint or basil or lemon or lime essential oil (for something a little different) to taste, 1/2- 1 tsp spirulina powder
METHOD
1. Add the gelatin, water and matcha powder together using a spoon to create a paste into a small saucepan making sure to get rid of any lumps.
2. Set aside for a couple of minutes to allow the gelatin to thicken
3. Add the coconut cream, sweetener, vanilla and your optional add-ins to the saucepan and heat it on low-medium heat until the gelatin has dissolved ( it should only take another couple of minutes for the gelatin to dissolve completely. Make sure all the ingredients are evenly mixed through)
4. Adjust any of the flavours or sweetness to your own tastebuds by adding more flavours or sweeteners
5. Pour the mixture into a glass jar or mug and place it in the fridge to set.
6. Allow around 2.5-3.5 hours for the panna cotta to set (depending on how full your fridge is- the less full your fridge the quicker it will take to set).
7. When it’s ready, grab a spoon and enjoy every silky smooth mouthful
