Ingredients

2 packages powdered gelatin (7g/2 ½ tsp. each)
½ cup cold water
2 cans full-fat coconut milk (400 ml/13.5 oz each)
½ cup non-dairy milk
¼ cup plus 2 tbsps. honey, sugar or maple syrup
pinch salt
2 ripe mangos, diced
toasted coconut, optional

Instructions

To bloom the gelatin, place the cold water in a small bowl and slowly sprinkle gelatin evenly over the surface working with one layer at a time. Let the first layer dissolve before adding more gelatin. Let sit for 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan over medium to medium-low heat, warm the coconut milk, milk, honey, and salt until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and whisk the gelatin mixture into the coconut cream mixture. Let sit for 15 before pouring into molds. Whisk again before pouring into cups.
If you are inverting onto plates, lightly brush the molds with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Whisk the coconut mixture then pour into cups. Let come to room temperature then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours or overnight.
If unmolding, fill a medium bowl with very hot water. Dip one cup at a time into the hot water until the panna cotta has released itself. You will start to see a small amount of liquid forming around the edge. Don't let it sit too long in the hot water or it will start to totally melt. Place a serving plate on top of the mold and invert. Give it a little shake or tap, if necessary, to release.
Serve chilled with fresh mango and toasted coconut.

Notes

STORAGE - Panna cotta will last in the fridge for 5 days or more. If using all non-dairy milk it will last up to 10 days.
