Coconut Caramel Panna Cotta
[Vegan]

To Make the Panna Cotta:

1. Empty the can of coconut milk into a small saucepan, heat it gently until it begins to steam.
2. Whisk in the maple syrup.
3. Continue whisking as you add the agar, it may form lumps at first but with continual whisking they will break.
4. Allow the mixture to thicken up on the stove, whisking gently on and off for five minutes.
5. Transfer to small ramekins if you are wanting to invert them onto a plate, alternatively you can pour into wine or martini glasses and serve like that.
6. Allow to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
7. If using ramekins and inverting the panna cotta onto a plate, gently run the edge of a sharp knife around the custard to loosen it.
8. Invert and give it a little shake, it should pop right out in perfect form.

To Make the Date Caramel:

To Make the Cookie Crumble:
