Can I use light coconut milk instead of full-fat?

While light coconut milk will work, the recipe notes that the flavor and consistency will not be nearly as good as with full-fat coconut milk.

What if I want to remove the panna cotta from the ramekins for serving?

If you plan to unmold the panna cotta, make sure to grease the ramekins thoroughly before pouring in the mixture.

How long does the panna cotta need to chill?

The panna cotta needs to chill for a few hours in the fridge to thicken up into its creamy consistency.

What can I use if I don't have passion fruit for garnish?

The recipe suggests using another tropical fruit as a garnish if passion fruit is unavailable.

How to Prepare Creamy Coconut Panna Cotta [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Combine coconut milk, agar powder and the sweetener in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Boil for about 3 minutes, then turn the heat off and let cool slightly (the mixture will not look thickened at this point but don’t worry!)
Pour into 4 small ramekins and chill for a few hours. (If you want to take the panacotta out of the ramekins for serving, don’t forget to grease them thoroughly before pouring the mixture in.)
The panna cotta will thicken up in the fridge into a creamier-than-jelly-like consistency.
Serve topped with passion fruit or another tropical fruit.
Enjoy!
